2030 Recruiting Class
With three scholarships available for the 2030 recruiting class, WVU head coach James Frizzell made good use of them. Frizzell addressed important needs at the guard position and also nabbed one of the best small forwards in the nation, which became all the more of an important signing with Armondo Whelchel's decision to declare for the NBA Draft.
Monwell Weaver headlines the class. The 6'1" point guard hails from St. Louis, MO, where he was his state's Mr. Show-Me Basketball. He was also an All-American. He is ranked as the #2 point guard in the 2030 class and the #3 player overall. Weaver is an excellent all-around player. His strengths are his good handles and good shooting ability, which is key in the offense Frizzell runs, where corner three-point shooting is especially important for a point guard. He will battle with Theron Dux for the backup point guard position next season, though he could also see some time at shooting guard with his impressive shooting ability. He is said to have great potential and should really improve over his years in Morgantown.
Myron DeLeon is the Mr. Basketball from Tennessee and the 21st-ranked player from the 2030 class. The 6'7" small forward comes out of Memphis, TN and is the ranked #4 at his position in this year's class. Originally recruited as a backup for Whelchel for at least another year, he might see himself put in the starting lineup as of day one as he will be the only true small forward on the roster with Whelchel's decision to head to the NBA. Like Whelchel, DeLeon is an excellent finisher around the rim and is very quick.
Dedrick Packevicius closes out this season's class for West Virginia. He is the #37 overall recruit in this year's class and the #8 shooting guard. Packevicius is 6'5" and is from Birmingham, AL. Packevicius is very quick and has great raw speed. He also has good size for a guard. His jump shot was a bit raw in high school, and may hold him back in Frizzell's system, where three-point shooting at shooting guard is a necessity.
West Virginia's class is ranked fourth in the country. Texas pulled in this year's #1 class with NC State, UCLA, West Virginia, and Maryland rounding out the top five. Another Big East school, Connecticut, also pulled in a top 10 class as the Huskies' 2030 recruiting class is ranked ninth in the land.
