West Virginia 2024 signee Carmelo Adkins announced he is decommitting from West Virginia following the coaching change under Darian DeVries.
Adkins had officially been signed since November, but released a statement on Thursday saying he would be re-opening his recruitment.
“Very grateful for Coach McCabe, Coach Eilert, Jay Kuntz and the entire staff for giving me an opportunity to play at WVU,” Adkins said in a statement.
He later added,” at this time I will be re-opening my recruitment for the betterment of my academic and athletic career,” while also saying he’s requested a release from his national letter of intent.
Last season at Phoenix Prep (PHH Prep), 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.
