Elijah Macon needs to step up for Mountaineers

It took Macon a while to get to Morgantown, after his heralded high school career at Huntington Prep. He played a year at Brewster Academy prep school and sat out one season before officially joining the Mountaineers for the 2014-15 season.

If that is any indication, Macon just may be a late bloomer for the WVU basketball team.

He has played the past two seasons, but has yet to really crack the starting lineup. In the past two seasons, Macon only has two starts despite appearing in 68 total games.

That will change in 2017.

Macon will have to step up and be the team’s big man in place of Devin Williams.
