Even with the departure of Kingston Whitty a few weeks ago, WVU basketball already had an impressive recruiting class, highlighted by five-star guard and Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) Player of the Year Miles Sadler from Bella Vista Prep (AZ), and his prep teammate, 6-foot-10 center Aliou Dioum.
But now, Ross Hodge has added two more promising prospects to the class, including another one of Sadler and Dioum's teammates, and with two roster moves, he's created one of the most intriguing high school recruiting classes enter next season.
WVU basketball adds Keonte Greybear, Amadou Seini
The first domino fell on Thursday evening as the Mountaineers secured a commitment from Keonte Greybear. Greybear is a four-star propect and among the Top 25 point guards in the Class of 2026, according to ESPN.
Greybear averaged 19.9 points per game on on 44 percent shooting during Grind Session international prep circuit in Orlando this season, and dropped 43 points in a double-overtime game during league play.
"The coaching staff has a lot of belief in me for next year and showed a lot of love towards me," Greybear told 247Sports.

The second addition came on Friday morning, as the Mountineers also added 7-foot-1 Cameroonian center Amadou Seini to their high school class. Seini was a kep piece of the rotation alongside Sadler and Dioum at Bella Vista, playing a big role at Chipotle Nationals as the team captured the tournament crown.
Seini is an unrated prospect, but much of it has to do with the fact that until recently, there were eligibility concerns about the prospect who just began playing in the US this past year. But scouts expect that to change, as he holds the FIBA U19 World Cup rebounding record with 15.4 rebounds per game, and recorded a combined 27 point and 26 rebounds in the semifinals and finals at Chipotle Nationals.
Amadou Seini dropped 27 points and 26 rebounds in 46 minutes in the Chipotle semis and finals, the highest level of high school competition.

He doesn't have a recruiting profile on ESPN or On3 and is unranked per 247. That'll change quickly. https://t.co/nHltoG7zyk
These two players are talent who could feasibly contribute minutes during their first season, and will likely find their way into the rotation next season. With Seini, there's a chance he's one of those rare four-star or five-star prospects that went under-the-radar, and he could make an immediate impact at the college level.
With Seini's addition alongside Dioum and transfer center Mouhamed Sylla, the Mountaineers now have three players on next season's roster at 6-foot-10 or taller, which gives the program what could potentially be their tallest roster in years. Fans who have lamented the lack of a post game in recent seasons can start to set their worries to the side.
With these moves, Hodge went a big way in solidifying his roster for next season. And if the Mountaineers put aside some of the money they'd spend on the portal by landing high school recruits at a cheaper budget for roster retention next season, these players will all have plenty of eligibility to return, unlike transfers embarking on their final season of play. It's clear Hodge is building for a big future in Morgantown.
