Ross Hodge and the West Virginia Mountaineers are starting off this Tuesday morning in a great mood, receiving a commitment from Georgia Tech center transfer Mouhamed Sylla.
As a true freshman, Sylla averaged 9.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 57.9% from the field.
Coming out of high school, Sylla picked the Yellow Jackets over offers from Arkansas, Arizona State, Alabama, Duke, Kansas, Oregon, Washington, and a few others.
He will have three years of eligibility remaining.
