His recruiting took off during the season, and he narrowed his choices to Texas Tech, Oregon, West Virginia, Ole Miss, Western Kentucky and Dayton in March.
McNeil joins a program coming off its first losing season in six years. The Mountaineers finished 15-21 after a four-year stretch in which they won 105 games and appeared in the NCAA tournament every season. Bob Huggins, who made at least two trips to Sinclair during the recruiting process, is entering his 13th season as head coach.
