Trent MacLean, the No. 141 overall recruit in the 2025 class, will request his release from his National Letter of Intent to West Virginia, he tells 247Sports.
The 6-foot-9, 195-pound power forward out of Castaic (Calif.) SoCal Academy is the second Mountaineer signee to decommit from the program following the departure of Darian Devries hiring at Indiana.
MacLean is a four-star recruit and the son of UCLA legend Don MacLean who picked West Virginia over Saint Mary’s back in November.
MacLean is a late-blooming prospect with size and is a marksman from behind the arc.
Full MacLean evaluation:
While his ability to shoot from long range is his best asset at the moment, MacLean also has a good overall feel for the game. He understands how to play without the ball in his hands, stays in pretty constant motion, and is a solid passer within the flow of the offense. He’s also active on the glass and has had some games where he’s shown flashes of being a high-volume rebounder.
Physically, he’s just now starting fill-out what is turning out to be a very solid frame. He has big shoulders and and the type of frame that could look vastly different after a couple of years in a college weight room. With consistently evolving pace and physicality, and yet still so much physical upside left to discover, his game is likely going to keep ascending in correlation to his body.
