Why is this relevant?

Paint Valley big man, Dylan Swingle holds a standing offer from the Mountaineers as well as a great friendship with Coach Huggins. If he is able to commit to WVU, I am led to believe that this is the first time a player from the SE district will be "playing for" a team ranked #1 in BPI, RPI, AP, and Coaches poll.

??? I just looked and they are 11th AP, 12th coaches and 38th RPI

And he's not "playing for" them right now.

We all hope the best for him and he is very impressive....but I don't understand this thread.

I'd guess there have been multiple players from SEO that played for top teams. I can think of a recent one being Cam Thouroghman (Clay) playing for WVU 2008-2011. WVU was ranked many times and as high as #3.

Very confusing wording, my apologies. I mean this as in WVU is ranked #1 in ANY of the major polling and metrics. Not that they are #1 in all of them. My understanding is his interests in schools is that he is going to WVU, who is current #1 in the Basketball Power Index. If he commits in coming weeks he would be committing to a team ranked #1 in a major ranking system.

Ok....I couldn't get the BPI rankings to load.

Swingle is surprisingly athletic for his size. I know he's working with the right people to maximize his athletic potential. No doubt WVU is an outstanding landing for a college basketball or football kid....real solid school as well.
