MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – National signing day has a different feel now that it has been split into two parts.
An event that was once treated like a holiday now falls in the shadow of an actual holiday – not to mention bowl preparations and the occasional coaching change. The December signing day represents a beginning of the cycle rather than a definitive ending.
West Virginia is expected to fill 15 of its 23 available scholarships on Wednesday, though there is more than enough room to take in some additional prospects should they decide to become Mountaineers now rather than waiting for February.
