What is up with Holgy pulling sloppy seconds on transfers from the state of Florida?

Just a recruiting strategy.
WVU now has one of the most coveted QB's out of HS as our starter and just got a 4* kid waiting in the wings who will be available in 2018 and another 4* QB that came BACK to WVU after contemplating transferring. Pretty good depth now.

Using the traditional recruiting strategies WVU going H2H with schools like Miami,Florida, Alabama ect. for those kids out of HS doesn't work out so well and for whatever reason we have had a tough time getting a high rated QB to come to Morgantown the last few years.

Doesn't matter to Holgs WHEN he gets em, just as long as we get em on the roster. We'll see what happens

Auburn noticeably absent from list of SEC teams Nick Saban respects

Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban was asked about the perception that the conference is a one-team league during his time at the podium on Wednesday:

“I have a tremendous amount of respect for a lot of teams in our league,” Saban said. “I mean, LSU is very, very good. Ole Miss has beaten us a couple times in the last few years. Mississippi State has got a good quarterback coming back. Arkansas’s got a good quarterback coming back. A&M’s always a very challenging team.

“I think Kirby’s doing a great job at Georgia. Jim McElwain is doing a good job at Florida. Tennessee has gotten better and better every year. I am trying to think of somebody in our league that I don’t have a tremendous amount of respect for. Vanderbilt went to a bowl game last year and had a winning season.”
