West Virginia lands top prospect

http://msn.foxsports.com/cbk/story/8152076/Take-it-to-the-Ebanks:-West-Virginia-lands-prospect?CMP=OTC-K9B140813162&ATT=99

As West Virginia's star forward Joe Alexander debates whether to enter the NBA draft, the Mountaineers have decided to add some insurance, landing the top unsigned prospect available, Devin Ebanks. Ebanks, the 13th best player in the country according to Scout.com, had signed with Indiana but withdrew after former coach Kelvin Sampson was let go. West Virginia coach Bob Huggins, who just was signed to an 11-year contract with the Mountaineers, had a lot to do with Ebanks' decision: "I really respect Coach (Bob) Huggins and I trust what he's saying," Ebanks told FOXSports.com. "I also feel like I can make an impact quickly at West Virginia."
