Breaking: WVU Picks Up Commitment from OSU Transfer Javon Small

Oklahoma State transfer guard Javon Small has committed to West Virginia, he told Jon Rothstein on Wednesday night.

During his recruitment, Small visited Miami (FL) and Ole Miss, while having interest from notable schools like Kansas, Texas, Louisville, Michigan and other high-major teams.

Small spent this past season at Oklahoma State, averaging 15.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists through 31 games. The 6-foot-3 guard shot 44% from the field, 37% from three and 86% from the free throw line. In a win against West Virginia on Jan. 27, Small had 15 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists.

Small now rejoins Nelson Hernandez, who came over from Oklahoma State to join Darian DeVries’ staff as director of player personnel and recruiting.

Small began his career at East Carolina, where he appeared in 34 games over two years. Small took a huge jump between his freshman and sophomore seasons, boosting his points per game average by 13.

Small has one year of eligibility remaining.

Small becomes the sixth transfer WVU has picked up this offseason, joining Tucker DeVries (G – Drake), Sencire Harris (G – Illinois), Amani Hansberry (F – Illinois), Toby Okani (F – UIC) and Eduardo Andre (C – Fresno State).

West Virginia has lost Josiah Harris (F), Seth Wilson (G), Patrick Suemnick (F), Kerr Kriisa (G), Jeremiah Bembry (G), Kobe Johnson (G), Ali Ragab (C) and Noah Farrakhan (G) to the transfer portal so far.

The transfer portal entry window closes on Wednesday, May 1. Players just need to be entered by then and can extend their recruitment as long as they want to.
