West Virginia continues to reconstruct the basketball roster under new head coach Ross Hodge and the latest is Allen (Tx.) 2025 forward Deandre Thomas.
Thomas, 6-foot-7, initially signed with North Texas in November but announced on social media that he would be joining Hodge in Morgantown.
"Excited to announce I will be following the previous North Texas coaching staff to (West Virginia)," he wrote.
Thomas averaged 10.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game as a junior on a talented Allen basketball team.
Thomas initially picked North Texas over offers from Tulsa, UTSA, Rice, Holy Cross, Northeastern and a number of others.
Thomas is the first 2025 signee to pick the Mountaineers since Hodge took over the program.
