Yeah important Big 12/WV news. Suprised he is not testing the water first and getting feed back before hiring an agent but looks like he's committed to going pro.


@collegehoopsnews West Virginia forward Devin Williams will enter the NBA draft and will sign with an agent according to reports. #Mountaineers #NBADraft
Apparently his family's financial situation isn't great, so he's taking the money while he can. I can't see him getting drafted, but he'll have a nice career in Europe.

Huge loss for us though, t
akes us from about 2nd in the league to 6th at most.

I really thought WVU would have been the best bet to knock off KU next year. Without Williams, I say give KU 13 straight right now.

Underwood seeing his first attrition.
(I want to say ISU was starting to show interest when Gak commited to OSU, but not 100% sure.)

@gorjokgak I have just received my release from Oklahoma State University, and have re-opened up my recruitment.

Although Huggs just called our talk show and said that the doesn't plan to hire an agent, is just testing the waters at this point, and doesn't have an interest in going to Europe this year. So we'll see how this plays out.

Anyway, I'm somewhat surprised Gak had more loyalty to Ford than OSU, can't imagine why he'd want to play for a coach that has such a s*** reputation for developing bigs. I know WVU recruited him, but I'm not sure if we ever offered. IDK how much of a connection there is between him and ISU, but a frontcourt pairing of Malou and Gak would be pretty intimidating.

Don't think Greene is high enough caliber to enter NBA draft but obviously he is being/would be recruited over, and if he can end up making some money, hard to blame him.

Say what you want about Kansas and Bill Self, but damn he sure can recruit.
