Mike Asti electrifies this edition of Mic Drop with guest former NFL All-Pro linebacker Shawne Merriman. 

The Chargers great tells Mike when he knew Justin Herbert would be a star, his experiences playing against Ben Roethlisberger, the impact a linebacker like LA's Joey Bosa or Pittsburgh's T.J. Watt can have on a game and if he has any regrets from his playing days.

Did losing trust in West Virginia's climb cause a 4-star recruit to de-commit? That's the main question host Mike Asti asked WVSN's Karl Ludwig about shocking news of Kevin "KJ" Thomas announcing he is no longer committing to WVU.

What kind of hit is this for Neal Brown and the future of the program? Could this lead to other recruits also deciding to offer their services to another school? How much of an impact has WVU's poor season had on keeping the upcoming recruiting class intact? How much pressure does this now put on Brown? Mike and Karl attempts to answer those questions and more.

With a Backyard Brawl taking place on the court, it's only fitting Mike Asti delivered a broadcast version.

They both offer their realistic expectations for both Pitt and West Virginia, two teams many feel are headed in two completely different directions.
