West Virginia may be getting a surprise visitor on the last weekend of recruiting before signing day on Wednesday February 6th. The following appeared in today's Salt Lake Tribune......
It seems like there comes a time during the recruitment of high-profile athletes when those athletes stop talking to newspaper reporters and Web site hosts and information is funneled through another source, such as a high school coach or family member.I get the feeling that's what is happening with some of the Kahuku, Haw., football players that Utah is recruiting and with Uona Kaveinga, the four-star linebacker that committed to BYU but is now said to be considering USC.
So, I called Kahuku coach Reggie Torres today, and he had some interesting information, especially regarding Benji Kemoeatu, the four-star offensive lineman whom Utah is dying to get.
To wit:* West Virginia is making a late run at Kemoeatu, but hasn't decided whether it will offer a scholarship or not."Benji is getting calls from [West Virginia], so he wants to see what they are doing first before he decides anything," Torres said. "If West Virginia gives him an offer to fly there [this weekend], that's what he is going to do."* USC also recently made contact with Kemoeatu.
I believe WVU is interested in this player as a center prospect. Kemoeatu has a brother who plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers just 70 miles north of Morgantown. Stay tuned as Mountaineer Cave will continue to update this situation, along with many other developing stories, as signing day draws closer.
