Previously documented, though still accurate, is how different WVU’s basketball team will look and play next season. We knew this before Tuesday when Devin Ebanks officially terminated his eligibility by saying he’d signed with an agent and Jonnie West surprised us a little by deciding to bench basketball and hit the books. Gone already were seniors Wellington Smith, Da’Sean Butler and Cam Payne.

But what would Tuesday and beyond have been like had Kevin Jones decided to enter and remain in the NBA Draft? It could have happened.

“With the season we had and all the success we had and my success personally, I had to think about the things I could do, but I didn’t think I was at that level yet,” he said.

The decision came after some research. Jones went to the WVU coaching staff and it was agreed WVU would solicit opinions from NBA people.

Jones said he was told he’d be a second-round pick.
