West Virginia's biggest recruiting weekend of the year was the week of the Backyard Brawl, which was extremely successful thanks to an amazing environment and a thrilling overtime win over a heated rival.

Topping that is going to be extremely difficult to do, but this weekend has a chance to be a strong one for WVU on the recruiting trail with a number of visitors set to be on hand, stemming from the 2026, 2027, and 2028 recruiting classes.

While the majority of recruits in town are undecided, there are two who are committed elsewhere and are considering a potential flip to the Mountaineers.

Here is the full list of confirmed visitors.

With the early signing period beginning on December 3rd, teams are having to cram in official visits during the season as opposed to immediately after the regular season and during the weeks of bowl prep. WVU head coach Rich Rodriguez has said numerous times that he expects to sign somewhere in the ballpark of 35 high school recruits and then a dozen or so transfer portal guys.

West Virginia and Colorado will kick the action off at 12 p.m. ET and will be televised on TNT. You can also stream the game on HBO Max.
