By Farrell...says part of the reason he committed to RR was because he told Woods he would be at WVU for a while. Has been contacted by Pitt, , Connecticut and Vanderbilt since RR left WVU.

Western Pennsylvanians provide boost to Pitt's football recruiting

J.D. Woods is a receiver from Naples, Fla., who originally chose West Virginia but visited Pitt this past weekend.

Essentially said he'll stay at West Virginia, unless he gets an offer from the Wisconsin Badgers. Believes he'll get an offer from the Badgers eventually, so he'll probably switch his commitment to Wisconsin. Really excited about the possibility of playing with fellow Golden Gate high school teammate, Badger commitment, Anthony Mains

[Heavystarch]

He would definitely fill a large portion of the gap left behind by Kemp. Not that we really need receivers, but I'll take any guy that West Virginia wants.

[Bernini]

Yeah, he looks far more promising talent wise than some of the plan b/c reaches in Florida and elsewhere, that were bandied about to culminate this class. In addition to West Virginia he has decent peripheral offers and we can rationalize he would have been an option earlier if the Mountaineers didn't scoop him up. 5'7"-5'8" corners with no major offers from a small school in Florida (Antonis Fenilus) after we've struck out on numerous others at the position....there's no sugar-coating that. I'd way rather take a sleeper from Wisconsin like Bradie Ewing. Now you can be overlooked in this state and he looks like a phenominal athlete with size who could project to multiple positions.

I'll be very interested to peep Woods' highlights. Rivals says they'll be posted shortly.

Evaluation: Seemed to run really nice routes the times when he was visible the entire play....very subtle shoulder and head fake....comes back to the football well...appeared coordinated and confident about his ability to catch looking nonchalant like willie mays hayes....ready to turn up the field immediately and had nice wiggle/elusiveness...has a great initial burst....average top speed....not 6'2", 6'1" or maybe 6'0.5"....can't really say anything about his leaping ability from that video....legitimate high major player.
