West Virginia is also in the running for top 2025 guard Bryn Martin.
Martin is a rising senior at Springboro High School, which is just south of Dayton, Ohio. The 6-foot-1 recruit also plays for West Virginia Thunder UAA. As a junior, Martin averaged 21.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.2 assists as Springboro won the OHSAA Division-I state title.
Martin picked up offers and interests from the likes of Iowa, Stanford, North Carolina, Marquette, Butler, Xavier, Pitt, BYU, UCF, Rutgers and many other high-major programs.
West Virginia women’s basketball has momentum going within the program, coming off a second-round appearance in the NCAA Tournament under Kellogg’s first season. The Mountaineers ended up falling to the eventual national runner-ups in Iowa. Kellogg finished 25-8 during his first year at WVU, the most wins ever by a first-year coach at West Virginia. WVU was ranked nine weeks in the Associated Press poll.
