The West Virginia basketball program has landed a talented piece with upside out of the transfer portal with a commitment from former Illinois guard Sencire Harris.

Harris, 6-foot-4, 170-pounds, spent two seasons with the Illini but entered the transfer portal after taking a redshirt season this past year. During his first season with the program Harris played in all 33 games, even starting seven, while averaging 3.7 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.

A tenacious defender, Harris has athleticism and length which made him a highly recruited prospect in the class of 2022. A native of Canton, Ohio, Harris averaged 20.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3.8 steals as a senior for St. Vincent-St. Mary and led his team to consecutive Ohio Division II state titles.
