The recruiter isnt giving you a line of crap... He is being honest and upfront with you. Hopefully one of the 18E's from WV will chime in and give you their perspective on things...

While waiting on them I have a few things for you to take in. If your back up plan is to do OCS then attending 11B OSUT will not help you out in the least and going the 25U route wont slow you down. Getting to SFAS a few weeks faster will not help you get selected; being better prepared will. 11B OSUT will not help you in the least in the Echo course or in SUT. What you are taught there doesnt begin to scratch the surface of what you will be taught. And you will have more time to PT on your own than you know what to do with, or so says several recent 25U grads from 2/20th that I talked to less than an hour ago.

It would seem you have your mind set on 11B though...
