Neal Brown and West Virginia Busy Reaching Out to Recruits in the Class of 2023

College coaches and their staffs stayed up a bit later last night because at midnight, they were permitted for the first time to reach out and initiate contact with high school recruits in the Class of 2023.

Neal Brown and his coaches were busy calling and sending text messages to some of the top recruits in the country.

Although it’s impossible to track everyone, West Virginia Sports Now has been charting some of the players that were contacted by the WVU staff. This will obviously continue throughout until the next dead period but we’ll update this page on kids that are receiving West Virginia interest in the first 24 hours.
