Small committed to West Virginia on May 1, but has yet to officially sign with the program. Because of not signing, Small technically can be recruited by other schools. Kansas has been linked recently to Small if the guard does not sign with the Mountaineers.

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.
