WVU actually already has three RB commits in the class of 2013: 3-stars DeShawn Coleman and Zaire Williams as well as 2-star Elijah Wellman (well, he's a fullback.)
Williams looks like a really good player. Offers from Wisconsin, Iowa, UCONN, Pitt, Purdue, and Temple. Coleman was a big pick up for them, too. Had offers from Penn State, Pitt, and Purdue.
So in other words, they're picking up RBs as if they know they don't stand a chance with Smoke.

I don't, in any way, want to come across as if I am speaking for the WVU coaching staff but from what we understand 'Smoke' is very much a want on the WVU recruiting board and the opportunity to play a role similar to Tavon Austin is most likely the position being sold.
Even is there was a change in the situation and Mizzell committed to WVU tomorrow there is a good chance WVU would accept the commitment of another RB just to fill out the need at that position.

Was there ever any doubt that WVU would accept his commitment? We are talking about one of the best RB prospects on the East Coast, let alone the country. I'm sure WVU fans/coaches are excited about what they might already have coming in (I don't know myself), but this kid is going to shine for whoever he ends up playing for and not finding a way to get him a scholarship would be foolish

Didn't mean to imply that WVU is "recruiting over" Smoke; obviously y'all would take him in a heartbeat. I was just pointing out that they're plowing along with backfield recruits as opposed to going "all or nothing" on him like UVA is basically doing. That's all.
Your fanbase must be very excited about the Big X(II) move!
