Huggs sealed the deal on the top basketball recruit in West Virginia. I'm pretty sure Levi will work out much better than Noah Cotrill did too. He seems to have his head screwed on pretty straight for a 15 year old...
You'll need to follow the link for the whole story. Enjoy...
Quote:Levi Cook would have committed to West Virginia University a month ago, but the timing just was not right.
The Liberty High School (Raleigh County, W.Va.) center has been a Mountaineer fan his entire life, so when Bob Huggins and his staff extended an offer to the sophomore for the class of 2015, he knew exactly what his response would be.
But Cook felt an obligation to his late grandfather, who passed away in 2007, to hold off his commitment for another month. On Wednesday, he let the WVU staff know his decision.
"It's my Papaw's dream for me to commit and today's his birthday," Cook said late Wednesday. "I wanted to commit the day they offered me, honestly, but I waited until today because it was only a month away. I just wanted to do it for him."
Cook has been in touch with just about every member of the Mountaineers staff recently, discussing what the future could hold if he jumped at the offer to join the men in Morgantown. His commitment is now the first for the coaches in the 2015 recruiting class.
At 6-foot-10 ("and a half," Cook adds) and 300 pounds, Cook is a large prospect, to say the least. At this point, he uses his size to bully other high school athletes in the post, but when he gets to the college level, his new coaches expect to see a slimmed down player.
Here he is dunking the ball back when he was 12...

Nice get by Huggs. Where do the pre-season basketball mags put the Mountaineers this season?

You're only a couple of months late with this news. WVU moved on when Huggins decided to go with the full court press. Levi isn't suited for playing that kind of game.
