Miles Sadler's massive week in EYBL league should excite WVU fans

The West Virginia Mountaineers are closing up their first season under Ross Hodge, and it most likely will be coming without an NCAA Tournament trip. But their five-star high school signeeMiles Sadlerhas been proving why he might get them back there next year.

Sadler is the star recruit in Ross Hodge's incoming class, and you can see why by taking a look at this week's headlines in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL). The WVU basketball commit kicked things off by being named theEYBL Player of the Yearon Thursday night, a prestigious award that was won last year by current Arkansas guard Darius Acuff Jr., who is averaging 22.2 points and 6.4 assists per game for the No. 17 team in the country as a true feshman.

But Sadler didn't stop with bringing home some solo hardware, as he is working to lead the CIA Bella Vista to the EYBL Championship. And on Friday, Sadler exploded offensively against the No. 2 high school program in the nationto lead his team to victoryin the EYBL quarterfinals on Friday – he would finish with 32 points and six assists, and in one viral highligt below, lifted his small 5-foot-10 frame above the rim to posterize a much larger defender with a slam dunk.

Sadler, who is the top rated signee in West Virginia history, will likely make a Day 1 impact for the Mountaineers as a true freshman, and if hissenior season at the prep levelis any indication, he's ready to step up to the task at hand. And who knows? Maybe next season, we'll be talking about a Top 25 WVU team led by Sadler scoring over 20 points per game.
