A few weeks ago, junior forward Devin Williams announced that he was declaring for the NBA draft with a statement that made it pretty clear that he had no intentions of returning to Morgantown.
Today he made that official, signing with an agent and ending his college eligibility:
West Virginia's Devin Williams has signed with Aaron Turner, per source -- ending his college career.

Williams has long been rumored to be 3 years and out at WVU. Even though he likely won't make the NBA, he'll have no shortage of offers to play overseas.
Williams signed with Aaron Turner of Verus Management, who recently inked a deal with Baylor forward Taurean Prince and represents NBA players Terry Rozier and Jakarr Sampson.
We'll have more on this in the future, but Devin's absence means the Mountaineers will need much more production from Elijah Macon, who will likely slide into the starting lineup.
