Report: WVU Basketball, 4-Star G Kingston Whitty Part Ways

WVU basketball and four-star guard Kingston Whitty have reportedly parted ways, per Chris Anderson of EerSports.

Whitty’s separation from WVU would mean WVU’s 2026-27 freshman class only includes five-star guard Miles Sadler and four-star center Aliou Dioum.

Whitty signed to WVU in November on a grant-in-aid for the 2026-27 season.

Whitty is a 6-foot-2 guard from Mableton, Georgia, and currently attends Christ School in Arden, North Carolina. Whitty committed in early October.

Last year, Whitty averaged 10.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game while shooting 51% from the floor and 33% from 3-point range at Holy Innocents Episcopal in Georgia.

He played AAU basketball for Pro One on the UAA Circuit. Whitty wrapped up AAU play averaging 18.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game. He was named Co-MVP of the 2026 Select 80 last fall.

Whitty is a four-star recruit by ESPN and a 3-star recruit by 247 Sports & Rivals.

In addition to basketball, Whitty was a two-time Georgia state champion in track & field in the 400-meter dash and high jump.
