West Virginia Mountaineers head coach Bob Huggins just picked up the final piece to what could be a National Championship worthy puzzle, as Emmitt Matthews Jr. has announced his plans to join his friends Jordan McCabe and Trey Doomes in Morgantown.
The 6’7” forward from Tacoma, Washington had previously signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the UConn Huskies and former head coach Kevin Ollie. However, after Ollie was fired “for cause” due to an NCAA investigation into the program in March, Matthews requested and was granted a release from his NLI.
