In episode 36 of the Gold & Blue Breakdown show, Couz and Jonathan talk about the big recruiting weekend for WVU football. They breakdown all six commits, including one who flipped to the Mountaineers from another Big 12 program just before they recorded the show. The guys will also discuss WVU basketball coach Ross Hodge's recruiting philosophy, as well as the center that is on the roster that nobody seems to be talking about. Finally, what do the guys think about the WVU baseball controversy surrounding Grant Hussey? They answer that and more in the show. #wvusports #wvu ⭐️Sponsors: ⭐️ https://www.katzkantor.com http://appalachiadigital.com/couz/

Little has been heard from Zac Alley since his arrival in Morgantown.  West Virginia University's defensive coordinator is a rising star in coaching circles. You could say Alley's decision to join the WVU program is Rich Rodriguez's biggest recruiting coup yet. Alley's departure from Oklahoma gives Rodriguez the aggressive attacking nature that pairs well with his fast-paced offensive attack. In this episode, Alley reveals his motivation and goals in his role with the Mountaineers.  It's an insightful visit with Alley, who admits West Virginia University football changed his life before he ever arrived in Morgantown. 

Rich Rodriguez recently claimed that the West Virginia Mountaineers can win a national title on The Triple Option Podcast. Is that realistic for a program with such a small in-state recruiting base?What about the Transfer Portal haul Rich Rodriguez's staff acquired and can that method be the Mountaineers' path to an eventual title?

Since the transfer portal era began, WVU has had several players who made an impact on their respective teams; whether it be on the field, on the court, or in the hearts of fans. There have also been many grad transfers who made an impact before the transfer portal was even a thing. In this episode, Couz will countdown his top five one year players in the history of West Virginia Mountaineer sports. Former West Virginia defensive back, Beanie Bishop, drew the ire of Pitt Panther fans by wiping his feet on a Pitt logo. However, it made him even more loved by WVU football fans. Add that to his play on the field while he was in Morgantown, and Beanie has to be one of the top one year transfers in the history of WVU sports. But, is he number one? There have also been some really good WVU basketball players who played only one season for the Mountaineers. Names like Javon Small and Erik Stevenson, to name two. Do they make the list, and if so, how do they stack up against Bishop and other great one year West Virginia athletes? Couz gives his thoughts in the episode. #wvu #wvufootball #wvubasketball Sources: sports-reference.com ESPN.com Hailwv.com _________________________________________ ⭐️Sponsors: ⭐️ https://www.katzkantor.com http://appalachiadigital.com/couz/

The Southeastern 16 crew of Graham Doty, Jay Greeson and Chris Lee previews the Baton Rouge super regional of LSU and West Virginia. LSU's four-man pitching tandem of Kade Anderson, Anthony Eyanson, Casan Evans and Zac Cowan may be the country's best when it comes to covering lots of innings in an elite manner. But can LSU's other talented arms, like Chase Shores, Jaden Noot, William Schmidt, Mavrick Rizy, Cooper Williams, Jacob Mayers and DJ Primeaux step up if called upon for coach Jay Johnson? Consistency has been an issue with LSU's offense. But Ethan Frey has gotten red-hot in the postseason, while Jared Jones, Derek Curiel, Stephen Milam, Daniel Dickenson and regional Game 4 hero Luis Hernandez are also tough outs. The Mountaineers went undefeated in the Clemson regional after knocking off Kentucky in the title game. The pitching is keyed by starters Griffin Kern (who also closed the title game) and Jack Kartsonas, plus, rubber-armed Reese Bassinger. WVU's offense is led by Kyle West, who had an amazing season (.347/.500/.607) at the plate. The bottom of the Mountaineers' balanced order hit well in Clemson, and five players with double-digit steals and Skyler King (.424) and Sam White (.421) also being on-base threats.

For the second year in a row, WVU baseball has clinched a spot in the NCAA Super Regionals. The Mountaineers once again swept their regional, and did so in dramatic fashion.

He was named as a member of ESPN.com's prestigious 40 Under 40 list in the summer of 2020 as one of the most influential people in the game of men's college basketball. Nichols was a four-year standout as a player at West Virginia. He helped the Mountaineers to a 26-11 record and a to the 2008 NCAA Sweet 16 as a senior.

The Southeastern 16 crew of Graham Doty, Jay Greeson and Chris Lee break down host Clemson's draw in an NCAA baseball regional. Topics include: Clemson's offense gets on base throughout the lineup, with potential MLB first-round center fielder Cam Cannarella providing a dynamic presence in center field, Dominic Listi (.506 OBP) making for the lineup's toughest out, and Jacob Jarrell (15 HR) and Collin Priest (12) providing power. Workhorse right-hander Aidan Knaak and ace relievers Lucas Mahlstedt, Jacob McGovern and Reed Garris giving the Tigers aces on the mound. West Virginia was the Big 12's regular-season champion, but faded late in the season. Outfielder Kyle West (.354/500/.628, 10 HR) led a balanced offense that stole 105 bases. Griffin Kirn, Jack Kartsonas and Reese Bassinger give the Mountaineers a trio of durable, effective pitchers that give WVU a shot to advance. Kentucky played nearly everyone competitively and even took a series at Tennessee. The Wildcats' back-end bullpen troubles prevented a better record, but coach Nick Mingione is one of the best on the business and gets a lot out of a lineup that bunts, runs and puts pressure on defenses. Left fielder Cole Hage is a standout, shortstop Tyler Bell turned down Big League money to come to campus and starred as a freshman this year, and weekend starters Nic McCay's experience and crafty lefty-hander Ben Cleaver make the Wildcats a tough out. South Carolina Upstate is one of the tournament's toughest four-seeds, thanks to an offense that hit .319/.422/.530, with slugger Scott Newman (18 HR) leading the way. Ace Amp Phillips makes the Spartans a threat to pull an upset against one of the three Power 4 teams in the regional.

In this week's coaching conversation, Mount St Mary's head coach Donny Lind joins the Basketball Podcast to share insights on exceeding expectations.Donny Lind just completed his first season as the Head Men's Basketball Coach at Mount St. Mary's University. In his debut season (2024-2025), Lind orchestrated a remarkable turnaround for the Mountaineers. Picked 11th out of 13 teams in the MAAC preseason poll, Lind guided the team to a 23-13 overall record and a 12-8 mark in conference play, finishing tied for fourth in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.The season was highlighted by a run through the MAAC Tournament, where the Mountaineers secured victories over Marist, Merrimack, and ultimately Iona in the championship game. This MAAC Tournament title marked the university's first championship in any sport since becoming a full MAAC member and earned them an automatic bid to the 2025 NCAA Tournament.In the NCAA Tournament, the #16-seeded Mountaineers achieved the program's third-ever NCAA Tournament win with an 83-72 First Four victory over #16 seed American. Their inspiring tournament journey concluded in the First Round against #1 seed Duke.Donny Lind's impressive first year at the helm has garnered him recognition as a finalist for the Joe B. Hall Award, which honors the top first-time head coach in Division I college basketball. The team's 23 wins represent the highest win total for the program as a Division I institution and the most wins in a season for Mount St. Mary's since the 1986-87 season. Notably, his First Four victory also gave him the most wins for a first-year head coach in the Mount's history, surpassing the legendary Jim Phelan's first-year record.Before taking the head coaching position at Mount St. Mary's, Lind built a strong foundation as an assistant coach at several programs:VCU (Video Coordinator, 2010-2013): Lind began his post-graduate career at VCU, contributing through film analysis, analytics, and assisting with player development under Shaka Smart.Mount St. Mary's (Assistant Coach, 2013-2016): In his first stint at Mount St. Mary's, Lind served as the recruiting coordinator and helped assemble what is considered the winningest class in school history. The team won the NEC Tournament and reached the NCAA Tournament during his time. The Mountaineers consistently led the NEC in key offensive categories during his tenure.Radford University (Assistant Coach, 2016-2021): Working under Mike Jones, Lind was part of a staff that led Radford to back-to-back Big South regular-season titles (2018-19, 2019-20) and the 2017-18 Big South Tournament title, resulting in the program's first NCAA Tournament win in the First Four. He was recognized as a Top 50 Impactful Low Major Coach in Division I.UNC Greensboro (Assistant Coach, 2021-2024): Lind continued his successful assistant coaching career at UNC Greensboro, again under Mike Jones. The Spartans earned a #2 seed in the SoCon during his tenure.Donny Lind's return to Mount St. Mary's has already proven to be a significant success, marked by a conference championship and an NCAA Tournament victory in his very first season as a head coach. His ability to connect with players and implement an effective coaching strategy has clearly resonated with the team, setting a promising trajectory for the program's future.
