West Virginia’s recruiting board for the class of 2027 keeps getting busier, and now the Mountaineers have lined up an official visit with one of the EYBL’s most productive guards.
Justin Frison, a 5-foot-11 point guard, is set to head to Morgantown starting on September 25, according to Sam Kayser of League Ready on X. Before that trip, he’ll also make stops at Miami (OH), Murray State and Ole Miss.
Frison has been one of the summer’s biggest risers and has backed that up with a strong run for Team Thad in EYBL play. He currently leads the circuit in assists and first popped onto WVU’s radar after earning first team All-EYBL honors during Session II. In that stretch, he averaged 15 points, 6.5 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game.
He followed that with another strong showing in Session III, where he picked up second team honors after putting up more than 18 points and 7 assists per game while shooting 50 percent from 3-point range.
The Germantown (TN) Houston product recently picked up his fourth star from 247Sports and now sits inside the top 150 in the class of 2027. He’s also ranked as the No. 2 player in Tennessee. West Virginia was the first high-major program to offer him after his breakout spring, and since then he’s added offers from Xavier and Ole Miss.
Frison is now the third class of 2027 prospect to have an official visit scheduled with WVU this summer. Marlon Martinez already completed his trip, while fellow point guard Javion Tyndale is set for early September.

Missing players and a few minor glitches are part of the mix, but for West Virginia fans, the more noticeable issue is how the Mountaineers quarterback is being rendered on screen.
Scotty Fox Jr. is among the players whose likeness does not look quite right, which is the sort of detail fans notice immediately when they boot up a college football game. EA is expected to clean up some of those rough edges in future updates, but for now, West Virginia supporters are left waiting to see whether Fox gets a more accurate digital version before long.

Another Former Mountaineer Just Landed A Summer Shot Fans Will Love
Toby Okani has landed another familiar stop with the Knicks, earning a spot on New Yorks Summer League roster and putting himself back in a setting he already knows. For West Virginia fans, the added wrinkle is the reunion factor, with Okani set to join former Mountaineer teammate Treysen Eaglestaff as the Knicks begin building out their summer group.
There is also a little more NBA mileage on Okanis resume than a typical camp invitee. He spent time with the Knicks G League affiliate last season and later got into six NBA games with the Memphis Grizzlies on a 10-day contract, giving him a chance to show he can hang at that level. New York opens Summer League play on July 10 against the San Antonio Spurs, and Okani will be trying to turn this latest opportunity into something more lasting. [Read more 🡒]
