The WVU basketball team already signed one of the top players in West Virginia (Brandon Knapper) and Ohio (Derek Culver). Those two will be joining West Virginia in the 2017 season. McCabe is just a rising junior, but is already more than happy to become a Mountaineer.
He is the first verbal commitment in the Class of 2018. Other prospects on the WVU basketball watch list for that year include: Brandon Slater, Dwayne Cohill, Montez Mathis, Greg Floyd, Jarius Hamilton, Jerome Hunter and Dylan Swingle, according to verbalcommits.com.
Jordan McCabe might be the gem of this class, even though he is only the first to offer a verbal commitment.
