Congrats to WVU on the pickup this morning.

Thanks. First I've heard of it...

Have you seen him play Joey?

Jackson

Naw I haven't. I don't think I've ever been to a McKeesport game. BTW McKeesport has an up and coming QB that's only a Jr. He has a very strong arm. His name is on the tip of my tongue.

Here's a story on Christian, and WVU's McKeesport connection...

WVU Connections Key For Christian

WV Metro News Wrote:A solid West Virginia connection at McKeesport Area High School in Pennsylvania went a long way in the verbal commitment from football recruit Hodari Christian. The linebacker this past week became West Virginia’s first defensive commit in the Mountaineers’ 2013 recruiting class.

All-time, West Virginia has had considerable success getting players out of the McKeesport area. Two of those former players, meanwhile, are involved with the current football program there now under McKeesport head coach Jim Ward.

“They’re very proud Mountaineers in John Harper, who coaches our cornerbacks, and Tim Brown – they’re both McKeesport guys that went to West Virginia and those guys were both coached by (Steve) Dunlap in their years down there,” Ward said. “Those guys were pretty influential and there’s a high level of respect for Steve Dunlap coming in and that’s how the relationship started.”

It was Dunlap who ultimately recruited Christian to WVU, noticing the linebacker’s skill set early on.

Mike Logan is another player in the McKeesport/WVU connection.

Is Mike at McKeesport too?

I thought you were saying he was coaching there. The connection the story mentioned was his HS coaches, who played for Nehlen...

The fact that he went there was lost to my memory. It's been too long ago for me to remember...
