Statement from @CoachHuggs regarding Elijah Macon. https://t.co/dlARQmUYz3

Elijah Macon is in summer school, but he’ll be done in two weeks and will pursue professional playing opportunities after that.

Or not?

Macon announced his departure on Facebook:

“First things first I would like to say Thank you Bob Huggins And Erik Martin for believing in a young 15 year old boy growing up from the Southside of Columbus, OH losing my mother and still having you guys push me to be the man I have become I can do nothing but thank you for all you and Mountaineer Nation has done for me unfortunately I will not be returning for my senior season at WVU and instead sign with a agent and play professional basketball thank you guys for all the love and support!!!
#MOUNTAINEERFORLIFE”

Thirty-one minutes later, which is an adequate amount of time for people to chime in and for Macon to survey the responses, he added a second post: “FYI I HAVE NOT SIGNED WITH AN AGENT YET”

Got it. I will guarantee you nothing from here on out, but it would appear Macon is leaving and this just became a perimeter team.
