MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The WVU men’s basketball team makes a splash with another big man for the 2026-27 season. This time, it’s Amadou Seini as part of the 2026 freshman recruiting class.
The CIA Bella Vista product has committed to Ross Hodge and the Mountaineers.
The 7-foot-1 inch center excelled at CIA Bella Vista alongside other 2026 signees Miles Sadler and Aliou Dioum. He finished 8th in rebounding in the Nike EYBL Scholastic Conference averaging 6.5 per game. He also had an 18 point & 15 rebound performance in the semifinals of the Chipotle Nationals.
The Camaroon native is also a defensive force. He averaged 1.9 blocks per game for Bella Vista in the EYBL Scholastic.
He is currently not rated by 247 Sports or On3, but schools such as Kansas were showing interest in the big man as recently as November 2025. He also visited Creighton before eventually committing to West Virginia.
For a video breakdown of Seini, please check out this recent episode of Couz’s Corner on YouTube.
