Devin Ebanks heading to West Virginia

by in Recruiting | May 18th, 2008

He was once Indiana’s top signee for the 2008 recruiting class. He’s now the prize of Bob Huggins and West Virginia. Devin Ebanks told Jeff Goodman of Foxsports.com this morning that he chose the Mountaineers over Memphis, Texas and Rutgers:

“I really respect Coach (Bob) Huggins and I trust what he’s saying. I also feel like I can make an impact quickly at West Virginia. I enjoyed my visit to West Virginia and just feel as though it’s the best situation for me.”

Ebanks joins Kevin Jones, Roscoe Davis and Darryl Bryant in WVU’s 2008 class and should become the go-to-guy in Morgantown with the departure of Joe Alexander to the NBA Draft.

    Not trying to be mean here, but honestly if you really trust Bob Huggins then I am Mickey Mouse! Man, if thinks West Virginia is anything like IU he's nuts. We are ten times more passionate, and our campus is ten times better than theirs. That being said, I wish him nothing but the best. It seemed like he was a nice kid.

    This is a much smarter thing for him than Memphis I think, he won't have to fight Tyreke Evans for playing time.

    In an unrelated question, did Joe Alexander sign with an agent? I enjoyed watching him in the tournament and was wondering if he still had the option to come back

    Alexander hasn't signed with an agent, but he's projected to be a late lottery/mid first round pick, so he'll likely stay in the draft.

    Nope, but the signing period ends on the 21st so news should be coming very soon.

    Kevin Jones….wow, forgot about that name after his interest in IU in the fall, when he stated how much he liked Kelvin Sampson….Ebanks to WV doesn't really surprise me, and I look forward to seeing Jones and Ebanks playing ball together….Best of luck to both….

    Gary Parrish is commenting that Emmanuel Negedu is asking for a release from Arizona and that IU could be a possiblity for this PF. I am not real familiar with this kid except that he is ranked in the top 50. Anyone have an opinion on this kid?

    You know getting rid of 95% of the team wasn't so bad after all, I have seen ONE we miss you Deandre, Armon, or Jamarcus post……..

    Give me good coaching, a clean program, and good frosh any day of the week. I still look forward to seeing a well coached Jordan Crawford this season.

    This would be a great score….says IU and Tenn. are in the mix. Marquette was listed too. The Crean/IU combination may seal the deal on this one. Lets keep our fingers crossed.
