Lots of football recruiting happening on West Virginia’s campus this week, but there are some basketball guests, as well. Keldon Johnson is not one of them, but he’s been in town before and remains in touch with the Mountaineers coaches. Others WVU would like to land have been in town to have a look, including some players from Ohio, including Jeremiah Francis from Pickerington Central.

“He was there on Sunday,” said Central coach Eric Krueger. “He did really well. I just spoke with Coach Huggins and Coach Harrison this [Tuesday] morning. They really love him.”

He, too, is a four-star player and has been ranked No. 2 overall in Ohio. In addition to WVU, Ohio State, Purdue, TCU and Virginia Tech have offered, according to Krueger. North Carolina has shown interest.

“He likes West Virginia a lot,” Krueger said. “He had a great time on his unofficial visit and likes the players and staff a lot.”

As a player?

“He’s attacking,” said the coach. “He’s strong with the basketball. He’s a floor leader, but can score in bunches. Not a lot he can’t do. Tough. A winner.”
