I have officially committed to the University of West Virginia! I would like to thank everyone who has recruited me! #Mountaineers

He’ll get the W-V-U part down, I’m certain. But, man, Bob Huggins for the win. This is WVU’s biggest and best get since Devin Ebanks, and Huggins was in early and kept the lead despite formidable challenges. I think it’s sometimes too simple to say the best way to get better is through recruiting … because recruiting is hard. Players like Ahmad — who live up to their billing — make it easier.
