MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (November 9, 2017) – West Virginia University men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins has announced that Derek Culver has signed a national letter of intent for the 2018-19 academic year.
Culver, a 6-foot-10, 230-pound forward from Boardman, Ohio, currently attends Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, playing for coach Jason Smith. Brewster Academy opened its season on Nov. 8.
“Derek is a big and strong athletic guy who can run and should be exceptional in our Press Virginia defense,” Huggins said. “He will add much-needed rebounding to our team.”
Culver graduated from Warren G. Harding High School, playing for coach Andy Vlajkovich. As a junior, he led Harding to a 23-4 record and a regional semifinal appearance. In a season-ending playoff loss to Garfield Heights, Culver had 16 points and 12 rebounds per game.
For the season, Culver averaged 16 points, 10 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. Culver earned All-Ohio Honorable Mention honors by the Associated Press as a junior. He played AAU basketball for the Ohio Basketball Club.
The November signing period continues through next week.
