I think a lot of the surprise about West Virginia has nothing to do with whether they have a good program or not. It's a lot to do with the fact that West Virginia hardly ever uses a TE in their offense (they don't even have a TE coach), and Will Johnson said he wanted to play TE.
I think it's that you don't see a ton of kids from Minnesota head to West Virginia, so that was surprising but the fact that they don't use TEs makes it seem sort of strange. It's a good program though, and they'll likely move him to OT, where he belongs (IMO).
On a side note, a kid from MN chose West Virginia last year as well, Brian Athey. He has since decided to transfer to Illinois St.
