WVU Basketball Loses Pair of 2025 Recruits Following DeVries Departure

WVU basketball has lost a pair of highly-touted 2025 recruits following the departure of Darian DeVries Tuesday evening.

Four-star prospects Trent MacLean and Kelvin Odih have both decommitted from WVU and will reopen their recruitments, according to reports by On3 and 247Sports.

MacLean and Odih were both rated as four-star recruits and had signed with WVU this winter. They were teammates together at SoCal Academy in Castaic, Cali.

MacLean held offers from Arizona State, Rutgers, Loyola Marymount and UC Riverside, among others. Odih was offered by the likes of Marquette, Creighton, Florida State and Louisville, among others.

That leaves one player in WVU’s 2025 recruiting class, in-state product Braydon Hawthorne. Also a four-star recruit, Hawthorne is from Huntington, W.Va. Hawthorne recently received a bump to his recruiting ranking, making him a top 150 prospect in the country.

Freshman Jonathan Powell has already announced his intention to enter the transfer portal and Tucker Devries is expected to follow his father to Indiana, as the future of West Virginia’s roster becomes clouded.

Of the players that could potentially return to WVU basketball, major rotation pieces Amani Hansberry, Sencire Harris and KJ Tenner as well as redshirting underclassmen Dylan Jay, Ofri Naveh and Abraham Oyeadier could all also be on the move.
