MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — For the second time in four years, Andy Vlajkovich will send one of his players to West Virginia University. After guiding Derek Culver at Warren G. Harding High School in Ohio, Vlajkovich is now coaching WVU commit Kobe Johnson at Canton-McKinley High School.

“He is as high-character of a kid as I have had,” Vlajkovich said. “He is a phenomenal leader in our locker room. Our guys respect him. They respect his work ethic. They respect his demeanor and the way he carries himself.
