Riverside (Calif.) C.C. receiver Isaac Whitney visited West Virginia last week, one week after taking an official visit to USC. He was previously planning on visiting Washington State several times, but the 6-foot-4, 195-pound outside receiver never did trip to the Palouse.
However, Whitney tells Rivals.com's Blair Angulo following his visit to Morgantown that the Cougars are still in his final three despite not visiting. I don't expect Whitney to land at Washington State, though he gave Angulo a few quotes on his WSU interest.
"I wold go to West Virginia because of the situation there," he said. "Kevin White is leaving and playing time would be available. That would be wide open. It's kind of the same thing with Washington State. They throw the ball so much that it means a lot of touches and yards for receivers like me. Playing in coach [Mike] Leach's system would be idea.
"And with USC, it would probably be a good fit for me because I have family in L.A. and I have a good relationship with coach [Tee] Martin."
Prior to his visit to West Virginia, USC appeared to be the favorite to land Whitney, who called the Trojans his dream school. West Virginia, though, looks like they have made up some ground for the three-star receiver. The Cougars are an obvious darkhorse, though having a couple teammates committed up there and familiarity with the program could make the Cougars a surprise pick.
He'll announce on Thursday. Here's the story: https://washingtonstate.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1715594
