STILLWATER — When Maurice Calloo was 15, he left his family in Ontario, Canada, and took the country roads down to West Virginia.
Calloo, now a freshman at Oklahoma State, was scouted at an AAU tournament and left Canada for Huntington Prep, where he lived with a host family, the Joneses. So, when the Cowboys travel to Morgantown on Saturday, it won’t be the first time the Canadian has been in West Virginia.
“It’s like a homecoming for me,” Calloo said. “It’s gonna be fun.”
Calloo’s performances have advanced with the calendar. Against Oklahoma this past weekend, Calloo scored eight points and brought down a career-high seven rebounds.
