Naas Cunningham, a top-30 prospect in the 2024 class, was offered by West Virginia’s staff late Saturday night. WVU’s staff was watching Cunningham work out at Southern California Academy and offered the 6-foot-7 forward afterward.

Cunningham is currently a four-star recruit in all of the recruiting databases but once was No. 1 in his class back in 2022. Cunningham has received offers from Arizona State, Arkansas, Auburn, Bryant, UConn, Creighton, DePaul, Duke, Florida State, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kansas State, LSU, Maryland, Memphis, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico State, Rutgers, St. John’s, Seton Hall, Texas, Texas A&M, TCU, Texas Tech, UCLA and others.

Cunningham has visited Memphis and Rutgers so far.

Cunningham played for Overtime Elite this past season, averaging 14.4 points, 2.3 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.9 steals in 30.2 minutes. Overtime Elite has emerged as one of the best developing programs in the country. Ausar Thompson (Pistons) and Amen Thompson (Rockets) both recently were drafted in the top five of the NBA draft.

West Virginia currently has zero commitments for the class of 2024. WVU’s staff under interim HC Josh Eilert has hosted 2024 G Makhai Valentine and 2026 C Andrew Jensen for visits over the past couple of weeks.
