The West Virginia basketball program has done it again with the addition of Wildwood Catholic (N.J.) forward Taj Thweatt to the 2020 recruiting class.

Thweatt, 6-foot-7, 195-pounds, selected West Virginia over three other finalists including Florida, Penn State and Temple. The Mountaineers only just offered in early August but the coaches had actually been recruiting him for several months prior to that after seeing him during the live period.
