As expected, class of 2025 forward Trent MacLean (6'9", 200 lbs) of SoCal Academy in Castaic, California will request his release from his National Letter of Intent from WVU and re-open his recruitment.
The news comes shortly after head coach Darian DeVries made the decision to leave West Virginia for Indiana after just one season.
MacLean is a four-star recruit, who picked the Mountaineers over offers from Arizona State, Loyola Marymount, Rutgers, Saint Mary's, UC Santa Barbara, UC Riverside, and a few others. Trent is the son of UCLA legend Don MacLean, who is the all-time leading scorer in PAC-12 history.
MacLean becomes the second player to de-commit from the program, joining his high school teammate, Kelvin Odih. This now leaves West Virginia with just one signee in its 2025 class, which is in-state product Braydon Hawthorne.
