Former La Salle big man Aaric Murray will take an official to West Virginia this weekend.
“He’s coming in Friday,” a source with knowledge said.
The visit was first reported by the Philly Daily News.
The 6-foot-10 Murray has also been to Oklahoma State, which is also involved with 6-8 forward Jamari Traylor of Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academies.
“Right now he’s been to Oklahoma State and he’s visiting West Virginia,” the source said. “I think he’s gonna make a decision after he does that.”
West Virginia has one scholarship remaining.
West Virginia was his second option after La Salle in 2008.
A second source with knowledge said that Murray skipped his recent planned visit to Kansas due to a family emergency. Murray may still visit Kansas, but hopes to decide by May 7.
Murray opted to transfer from La Salle after averaging 15.2 points last season.
