Couz’s Corner

Today on Couz’s Corner, we dive deep into a massive recruiting weekend for the Mountaineers! West Virginia is set to host elite 2026 big man Amadou Seini. At 7'1" with a reported 7'5" wingspan, Seini is a rim-protecting force from Bella Vista Prep—the same program that produced current WVU commits Miles Sadler and Aliou Dioum. Is Ross Hodge about to land another cornerstone for the future? In this episode, we discuss: The Visit: Why Amadou Seini is a "must-get" for the 2026 class and how his connection to current commits could seal the deal. Transfer Portal Watch: Coach Ross Hodge isn't done yet. We look at potential interest in Josh Holloway and how the staff is looking to round out the 2026-27 roster. The SEC Bombshell: In the second half, Couz breaks down a "What If" scenario that every Mountaineer fan needs to hear. If the major programs breakaway from the NCAA to form a "Power 2" Super League, does WVU have a seat at the table? The SEC Path: Couz lays out the specific roadmap for West Virginia to finally land in the SEC. From brand value to the "front porch" theory of athletic spending, we explain why Morgantown might be closer to the Power 2 than you think. _______________________________________ Sources: Song: Music by: SUNO AI Lyrics by: Justin Walker 247 Sports _______________________________________ Get Your Tailgating Stuff HERE: http://victorytailgate.pxf.io/CouzCornhole Couz's Corner Merch Store: https://couz-shop.fourthwall.com/ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGQsDxC1nVegCKqyoMKnL9w/join Other Ways To contribute to the channel: Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Justin-Walker-516 PayPal: https://paypal.me/couzscorner?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US Fanatics link: http://fanatics.93n6tx.net/eKxbVr Subscribe: https://youtube.com/c/CouzsCornerSports Socials: Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/couzwalker TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@couzscorner?
