COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Things were heating up between Pickerington North rising junior forward Jerome Hunter and West Virginia prior to the Mountaineers' elite camp this past weekend. They reached a fever pitch when Bob Huggins and his staff offered the 6-foot-7 forward a scholarship after an impressive performance in Morgantown on Sunday.
Picking up his second high-major offer since the end of July, Hunter's stock has continued to climb, as the wing forward has really come into his own since the spring. With the tools to be a dominant player, Hunter has been every bit of that, leading his AAU team to great heights, while improving his stock greatly in the process.
After the strong performance at West Virginia, Hunter is slated to visit Michigan on Friday, where he could pick up his second Big Ten offer.
