So who are these guys?
Muhammad is a four-star shooting guard from Hudson Catholic in Jersey City. He’s ranked No. 76 overall by 247Sports, No. 15 among shooting guards and No. 5 in New Jersey. Ohio State, St. John’s, Virginia, Xavier are all hot on his trail.
Doomes is a three-star guard rated No. 175 nationally, No. 41 among shooting guards and No. 17 in Florida. He has offers from Auburn, Ole Miss, UAB and Middle Tennessee, but according to 247Sports, not one from the Mountaineers just yet. Looks like that could change.
Allen played at Chaminade-Madonna in Hollywood, Florida, before going juco. He had offers from Florida Gulf Coast, Iowa State and Kent State among others, and took an unofficial visit to WVU on July 5.
So now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
