WVU Recruiting Notes

Everyone is always looking for more size and this is making Ross Trampler an interesting prospect to high-majors. Trampler has taken his game from New Jersey's Christian Brothers Academy to the Hun School in Princeton, NJ and has attrected interest of late from West Virginia and Providence (who he is likely to visit) as well as Georgia Tech and Wake Forest. He has scholarship offers from FDU, Mount St Mary's and the service academies and has long been a target of several Ivy League programs. Yahoo! Sports, via scout.com, has an update on the recruitment of this 6'10, 225 lb Center: Trampler Sees Increased Interest.

The Wichita Eagle has a story on Casey Crawford, who recently tripped to West Virginia, and his visit this past weekend to Wichita St. The Shockers are hoping their status of the "home" team in this recruiting race will give them the edge for the 6'8 210 lb forward from Blue Valley North High school over WVU and the Big 12's Texas A&M. Crawford and WSU coach Mark Turgeon have become very familiar with each other the last couple years and Crawford has been on the WSU campus several times. Here is the article on his visit: Crawford Visits Wichita St.

Illinois Preps Bulls-eye has an updates visit schedule on Big East target Devan Bawinkel. Bawinkel, who has visited West Virginia and DePaul, has moved up his visit date to Georgetown to the weekend of Oct 8th and 9th. He will select from the three finalists shortly thereafter. To my knowledge, DePaul and Georgetown have one scholarship each remaining and DePaul is a finalist for Desean Butler, with WVU and Georgetown is a finalist for Duke Crews.
