BREAKING: National recruiting insider Joe Tipton is calling his shot for West Virginia to land 5-star 2027 big man Paul Osaruyi! Tipton listed WVU as his prediction with a medium confidence level, citing the Mountaineers’ consistency, Ross Hodge’s recruiting momentum and the powerful Bella Vista pipeline. Four current WVU players previously attended Bella Vista, giving Osaruyi strong relationships and immediate familiarity with the program. Arkansas remains involved, while Kentucky and Indiana have also been linked to the elite prospect. However, West Virginia has emerged as the program carrying the most momentum. Could Osaruyi ultimately join 5-star point guard Miles Sadler and give WVU one of the most exciting young foundations in college basketball? If Hodge finishes this recruitment, it could become one of the biggest recruiting victories in program history. Important: Osaruyi has not committed. This is Joe Tipton’s current prediction for where the 5-star prospect will ultimately land.
