Allen (Tx.) 2025 forward Deandre Thomas will follow Ross Hodge to West Virginia.
Thomas, 6-foot-7, 210-pounds, signed with North Texas in November after committing to the basketball program a month before that.
But after the coaching change in Denton, Thomas received his release from the Mean Green and committed to the Mountaineers Tuesday night.

Thomas averaged 10.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game as a junior and followed that up by averaging 10.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists as a senior on a high-level Allen basketball team.
Thomas is the first high school prospect to commit to the Mountaineers under Hodge and it makes a lot of sense given the familiarity between the two.
