Massive: WVU land commitment for another star forward to bolster squad depth

West Virginia is in the process of reshaping its basketball roster under new head coach Ross Hodge, with the most recent addition being 2025 forward  from Allen (Tx.).

Standing at 6-foot-7, Thomas had initially committed to North Texas in November but recently shared on social media that he will be joining Hodge in Morgantown.

“Excited to announce I will be following the previous North Texas coaching staff to (West Virginia),” he wrote.

Thomas averaged 10.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game as a junior on a talented Allen basketball team.

Thomas initially picked North Texas over offers from Tulsa, UTSA, Rice, Holy Cross, Northeastern and a number of others.

Thomas is the first 2025 signee to pick the Mountaineers since Hodge took over the program.
