West Virginia men’s basketball announced the addition of Carmelo Adkins on Friday.
This comes after National Signing day this week, as Adkins had previously verbally committed to the Mountaineers in the last two weeks. Adkins is originally from Lubbock, Texas, and attends Phoenix Prep (PHH Prep) in Phoenix, Arizona
“Carmelo embodies the culture of West Virginia basketball,” Eilert said. “He has a first in, last one out mentality when it comes to his work ethic. He’s a big, athletic guard who can shoot the basketball. Carmelo will be a great addition to our Mountaineer basketball family.”
Last season, he averaged 16 points, six rebounds, three assists and 1.3 steals per game. In 2021-22, Adkins averaged 12.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.1 steals per game.
