MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — As an eighth-grader playing his first season of organized basketball, Lamont West liked to watch the varsity practices at Withrow High in Cincinnati.
Specifically, he liked watching Devin Williams.
“He used to dominate the practices and I wanted to be like him. He was real good,” West recalled during an appearance on MetroNews “Sportsline.”
West has turned out to be a pretty good player himself and signed with West Virginia this week, meaning he’ll soon become a teammate of Williams. The fourth recruit in the Mountaineers’ 2015 signing class doesn’t hide his happiness over being reunited with his high school idol.
