He said he likes West Virginia also because of the 3-4, but I had thought I read somewhere their new DC was moving away from the 3-3-5 stack they have been running and switching to a 4-3 base with the move to the Big 12. Not that I'm even a little bit worried about WVU but that sure can't hurt.

Yea the 3-3-5 came to WVU with Rich Rod, but Holgerson continued running it..

"I want to go to spring games at West Virginia, Florida State, Tennessee, NC State and North Carolina," said the 6-foot-2, 226-pound Ngakoue. "There could be a few more, but I'm still planning these."

"I've been talking to West Virginia, UConn, Michigan, Tennessee and Florida State a lot," he said. "I don't have any schools that standout to me yet. All of these schools are in the same boat right now."

"I look at the depth chart, the linebackers and how old they are," Ngakoue explained. "Also, who the school has been recruiting at my position will play into my decision. I don't want to go to a school just because of the name. I want to go to a school where I can get some playing time as a freshman and in the next three years have a chance to start. I'd like to be close to my mom, but I'm going to choose the school I'm most comfortable at."

Been waiting to hear some more news on this guy. I hope we have a good turn out this year at the O & C game. It feels like a potentially exciting year ahead, which should work in our favor, but, then again, we're just coming off a really disappointing year, which might keep some people away. It would be really nice though if we could get at least 40,000 there. 50,000 plus, and I would consider it a major success.

I'm in DC right now, and I was thinking I might go see this kid play. Then I looked up his high school, and it is in a pretty rough area of town. I went down there a week or so ago to get lunch with a friend, and we honestly got stopped by the cops walking down the street. They asked us if we were "lost of looking for something." It was quite the odd reverse profiling situation, as I am a white male. I'm still thinking about making the trek down there though...haven't seen a good high school football game in a while.

ATP Yannick, Dorian O'Daniel, and Ben Boulware are three of the most impressive LBs I have watched that we have a legitimate chance at pulling. I like the Vereen commit, as well as Rankin's potential, but these three seem to be the creme de la creme IMO.

Four-star linebacker Yannick Ngakoue of Washington (D.C.) Friendship Collegiate Academy has 19 offers, the most recent coming two weeks ago from Auburn. He was to visit West Virginia on Sunday. This summer, the plan is to check out Tennessee and Vanderbilt.

The three I like the most are Hatcher (#1 for me), Toney and Ngakoue.

I love the Vereen commit too.

I agree. I really like his size and frame. If Rankin is "underated" then what about Vereen? His high end offers (Tennessee, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Clemson) when he committed (which was earlier than Rankin so he probably would have pulled more by now) were every bit as good.

He's a much better player than Rankin. All of our Florida posters love Vereen. These other guys that are having a love fest for Rankin need to kill that noise. UGA finally offered him knowing he would commit on the spot basically. If we pull Toney, Yannick, Hatcher, Vereen, Herron, and Rochelle I'll be fine with the LB/Jack haul. I think that group could at the least help early in the front seven. Maybe get one starter out of the bunch to start along with AJ and Maggitt.

"I loved my time at West Virginia. Everybody was cool, the players were showing me love, it was real cool," he said. "It definitely met my expectations; the facilities, the weight room and everything were bunched together, so it's not a hassle."

Overall, the visit ranked 9.5 out of 10 for the rising junior and finally getting on campus to see everything boosted the Mountaineers overall chances in the race for his signature.

"It's definitely a place where I could see myself playing. There's no distractions and if I went there all I would do is play football and school work," he said. "It boosted my interest level a lot."

Ngakoue plans on returning to Morgantown for another visit sometime during the summer.

Ngakoue said WV is recruiting at the "BUCK" position which is a Rush LB/DE in the WV defense.
