Stone averaged 20.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists for a Titans squad that went 1-31 on the season. The Australian native recorded three games over 30 points and scored 25 points against Big 12 foe Cincinnati this past year. Stone shot 42% from the field and 32% from three.

Stone began his collegiate career at Grand Canyon.

West Virginia now has 11 signed players for the 2024-25 season, the first of DeVries. WVU’s coaching staff has put together a group of eight transfer portal recruits, two high school senior commits and a returning sophomore Ofri Naveh.

Here are the transfer additions the Mountaineers have made this offseason: Tucker DeVries (G – Drake), Sencire Harris (G – Illinois), Amani Hansberry (F – Illinois), Toby Okani (F – UIC), Eduardo Andre (C – Fresno State), Javon Small (G – Oklahoma State), Joseph Yesufu (G – Washington State) and Stone.

WVU now has two spots remaining if they choose to use up all 13. The staff is hosting Sacramento State transfer forward Duncan Powell on Wednesday and Thursday for a visit.
