That boost may arrive in the form of Brandon Knapper. The once healed recruit may have slipped the minds of most WVU basketball fans. He was an in-state prospect and looked like he could become one of the best players to emerge out of the state of West Virginia.
Coming out of South Charleston High School, Knapper ended up at Hargrave Military Academy for a year before enrolling at West Virginia. He has been a student at WVU for a while now, just not a regular for the WVU basketball team.
That may soon change.
