The second best small forward in the 2008 recruiting class, Devin Ebanks, is headed to West Virginia. Ebanks chose to play for Bob Huggins ruling out Memphis, Rutgers and Texas. Ebanks is an athlete wingman who can run the floor and has a terrific mid range jumper. It may be that Ebanks committed to WVU because of Huggins, who recently signed an 11-year contract extension. Ebanks addition to the Mountaineers should put them into the elite group of teams in the Big East.Personally if I was Ebanks I would have picked Memphis because him and Tyreke Evans could have done some serious damage next season together, but none the less, WVU is a good fit. Ebanks should fill the role of Joe Alexander, who seems to be a lock for the draft. Ebanks will be an immediate impact for Huggins and the Moutaineers will be competing with UConn, Pitt, Notre Dame, Louisville and Syracuse for the Big East championship. With their best two players other than Alexander returning, Da'Sean Butler and Alex Ruoff, West Virginia should return to the sweet sixteen.
