The West Virginia Mountaineers have landed a strong 2026 recruiting class, and the group is headlined by Miles Sadler, who is one of the top five guards in his class, and among the Top 25 players nationally.

Sadler was highly-touted as he was signed to WVU basketball, as he was the top-ranked signee in the history of the program. And during his senior season of high school ball, he has continued to prove why he is worth the hype.

And after a recent nomination for the McDonald's All-American Game and winning the MVP award at the Avance Global Cup, Sadler is once again showing why he could be a dangerous weapon for the Mountaineers next season.

Miles Sadler goes viral for massive scoring effort

A video currently making the rounds on social media highlight's a standout performance from Sadler in a recent game for his current prep team Bella Vista Prep (Ariz.), where he has an absolutely dominant scoring effort.

The post sharing the video credits Sadler with a 30-point performance in the game, with the the video itself showcasing him scoring 23 of those 30 points – he knocks down five three-pointers, and adds four two-point baskets as well.

From behind-the-arc, Sadler shows not just a thrilling ability to shoot the lights out of the gym, but the rarer skill of being able to create his own shot. A number of Sadler's most impressive baskets in the video are created by him using his dribble to creat open opportunities.

And the video also shows that despite being a bit undersized, Sadler is a legitimate threat with his handles and at scoring around the rim, burning multiple defenders on dribble penetration and finding a variety of unique ways to score the ball, including one impressively difficult reverse layup.
