Holgorsen didn't want Murray. Murray took an unofficial visit to Morgantown and attended camps there but was not offered a scholarship and was not recruited anymore by Holgorsen and staff.Dana Holgorsen, the very coach that didn’t recruit the top high school player in state of West Virginia in the past decade, Darnell Wright, also passed on recruiting the best defensive player in the conference as well.While the former Head Coach complained about not being able to recruit players to West Virginia and not beat Oklahoma, he did not try to get the top recruit in the state and gave up the best player in the conference to the Sooners.  Watching his team get rolled by Oklahoma in the season opener, you have to wonder if Holgorsen watched Murray’s brilliant game and wondered what could have been.Kenneth Murray was not recruited by WVU.<a href="https://mountaineersports.com/kenneth-murray-was-not-recruited-by-wvu/">https://mountaineersports.com/kenneth-murray-was-not-recruited-by-wvu/</a></blockquote>
