BY JARED SERRE SPORTS EDITOR

Th e future of West Virginia athletics is starting to become the present. The NCAA’s early signing period began on Wednesday, meaning that high school re- cruits from the class of 2020 can offi cially sign letters of in- tent to play at a specifi c college or university. Football is the only sport that is not a part of the early signing period starting on the second Wednesday of November. Th e fi rst day of the early period for football recruits is on Dec. 18, 2019. On the fi rst day of the current early period, an abundance of athletes from a handful of sports offi cially put pen to paper and made Morgantown their future homes. In men’s basketball, West Virginia head coach Bob Hug- gins confi rmed that Taj Th weatt, a six-foot-seven-inch forward from Wildwood, New Jersey, signed his letter of intent for the Key: 2020-21 school year. “We are really excited to have green=men’s basketball Taj join the West Virginia fam- ily,” Huggins said through a red=women’s basketball press release. “He brings much- needed athleticism and has the yellow=women’s soccer ability to play multiple positions on the front line.
