West Virginia head men's basketball coach Bob Huggins lost a second member of his 2010 recruiting Thursday.
The coach announced in a statement that Darrious Curry will not play for the Mountaineers, stating that Curry has been medically disqualified.
"Darrious has had extensive medical evaluations by numerous physicians, and they concluded it was in his best interest to no longer play basketball," Huggins said. "He has been medically disqualified based on a medical condition that we cannot disclose due to student privacy laws.
"We're in the process of obtaining a medical exemption, and we expect Darrious to always be a part of the Mountaineer family."
Curry averaged 19 points and seven rebounds as a senior at Stratford High School in his hometown of Houston, Texas.
He's the second member of Huggins' 2010 class who will not join the team this season. David Nyarsuk, a 7-foot-1 center from Sudan, failed to academically qualify and will play at NAIA Mountain State University in Beckley, W.Va., during the upcoming season.
Power forward Kevin Noreen and point guard Noah Cottrill, both rated as four-star prospects by Scout.com, are the only remaining signees still eligible for action in the upcoming season.
