WVU’s Acquisition of Point Guard Makes a Big Impact | Latest Updates on News, Sports, and Job Opportunities

West Virginia Basketball Adds Javon Small to Roster

MORGANTOWN — The landscape of college basketball has shifted in recent years, with recruiting becoming a year-round focus and roster turnover becoming the norm. West Virginia basketball is no exception to this trend, as they have undergone significant changes in the past year.

After parting ways with former coach Bob Huggins, the Mountaineers brought in Darian DeVries from Drake to lead the program. With only one returning player, the team had to rebuild its roster from scratch. DeVries wasted no time in adding key pieces to the puzzle, including his son Tucker, who was a standout scorer at Drake.

The latest addition to the roster is Javon Small, a skilled point guard from Oklahoma State. Small led the Cowboys in scoring last season with 15.9 points per game and brings a wealth of experience to the Mountaineers.

Small’s addition has boosted WVU’s recruiting class to No. 5 in the nation, signaling a promising future for the team. While Small is known for his scoring ability, his defensive prowess is equally impressive, making him a valuable asset on both ends of the court.

With a new coach at the helm and a revamped roster taking shape, West Virginia basketball is poised for a fresh start. Small’s arrival adds depth and talent to the team, giving fans hope for a successful season ahead.

As Small prepares to don the gold and blue jersey, Mountaineer faithful can expect a smart and crafty point guard who is determined to lead his team to victory. With his Indiana roots and basketball pedigree, Small is ready to make an impact in Morgantown and help elevate West Virginia basketball to new heights.
