MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Jordan McCabe, the 2018 point guard newly committed to West Virginia, joined MetroNews Statewide “Sportsline” to recount how life changed as a fifth-grader after his grandfather took him to a basketball camp.
McCabe also discussed the importance of Bob Huggins offering a scholarship when the kid from Kaukauna, Wisc., was only a high school freshman.
“I had seen the Mountaineers play before on TV and I knew the uptempo style of play. But as soon as I met Coach Huggins myself, I kind of knew that was a guy I wanted to play for,” he said. “To have a Hall of Fame coach come in on me so early in the recruiting process,and continue to build a relationship with me, I knew in my heart of hearts it was the right fit for me over in Morgantown.”
