Coach Bob Huggins has signed 260-pound forward Deniz Kilicli of Beckley's Mountain State Academy for the 2009-10 season.

Kilicli, 6-9, moved to West Virginia from Istanbul, Turkey. He averaged 11 points and nearly six rebounds for the Turkish men's national 18-and-under team at the European Championships.

Kilicli joins 6-5 recruit Dalton Pepper, who signed with West Virginia earlier this week.
