Title: Devin Ebanks - SF - St. Thomas More School - Oakdale, CT - WVU
Post by: JohnnyJungle on March 07, 2008, 03:34:21 AM
De-committed from Indiana perhaps Halloway could do the same which is two top 100 recruits on the board.... apparently Ebanks says its between Memphis, Texas, and Rutgers(not a typo). Later in the article it states he has been contacted by 25 schools but his representatives are going to contact the 2-4 schools.

There is no doubt Ebanks would be a perfect fit here.

 If we land him, I'd be absolutely shocked.  Thrilled, but shocked.

The nation's top unsigned player has made his decision.

Devin Ebanks, a 6-foot-8 forward from Long Island City, N.Y., will attend West Virginia and play for head coach Bob Huggins, according to Jeff Goodman of FoxSports.com.

Ebanks, who has spent two years at St. Thomas More (Conn.), chose the Mountaineers over Memphis, Rutgers and Texas. Memphis was a close second, but Ebanks ultimately opted to join a recruiting class that includes forward Kevin Jones of Mount Vernon (N.Y.) and Darryl "Truck" Bryant of St. Raymond's of the Bronx.

Ebanks initially committed to Indiana but got out of his National Letter of Intent after IU head coach Kelvin Sampson was let go in the wake of a recruiting scandal.

"Devin Ebanks is a guy who changes ends of the floor as well as anyone," said recruiting analyst Tom Konchalski. "That's his greatest asset is his mobility. He's an opportunist offensively. He runs the court really well. He has a lot of quickness and he can score. He has a knack for scoring. He can shoot the 3. He has quickness around the basket. He doesn't move particularly well without the ball. He's got to work a lot harder defensively. He's made a lot of progress in the two years at St. Thomas More, learning to play harder for longer stretches and not taking plays off but he's still got to work on his lack of focus."

WVU  got a good one. No let me change that they got 3 good ones and a coach that could make them into great ones.

Dam how can we get our money up? Maybe that NYPD Cadet program can help us a little

i doubt EBanks or Jones starts at their right position next year at the 3 spot , they rather sit on the bench for one or two year than play for us, this is growing tiresome

Desean Butler & Wellington Smith are developing nicely for WV I wonder if one will transfer
