Cheeks picked up 18 scholarship offers during his recruitment. He had interest from all Power 4 conferences, as his offers included Kentucky, Minnesota, Pitt, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest.
With Cheeks on board, West Virginia has 25 commitments in a class that ranks No. 43 nationally on the Composite. While Cheeks’ name may get some laughs, the talent is no joke.
