Now that the regular season and conference tournaments are officially behind us, it's a good time to take a look at how West Virginia transfers performed this season at their new schools.

DeVries had an up-and-down season with some brutal shooting nights sprinkled in. He ended the year shooting just 39% from the floor and 33% from downtown, recording 13.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per night. His career comes to an end without a return to the NCAA Tournament.

Haris Elezovic (Northeastern):

Elezovic saw minimal action in 17 games with the Huskies, but did have a slightly larger role, doubling his playing time from 4.2 minutes at WVU to eight minutes at Northeastern. He averaged 2.2 points and 1.5 rebounds per game.

Amani Hansberry (Virginia Tech):

The season everyone expected Hansberry to have in what would have been in year two at West Virginia took place in Blacksburg. He became a more consistent offensive scoring threat, ending the season as the Hokies’ second-leading scorer (14.3 ppg). He upped his three-point shooting from 29% to 35% and his field goal percentage from 42% to 49%. He would have solved a lot of the Mountaineers’ interior issues this season.

Ofri Naveh (Oral Roberts):

Ofri had a strong breakout season with the Golden Eagles in his first year as a starter. He shot 46.8% from the field and 29% from three, averaging 11.2 points, six rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.3 steals per game.

Jonathan Powell (North Carolina):

After starting 23 games for the Mountaineers as a true freshman, Powell took a backseat in Chapel Hill, appearing in 32 games and averaging 16.2 minutes per night with zero starts. He did shoot the ball a little better, going 39% from the field and 38% from three, albeit at a lower volume. He posted just 4.8 points and 2.3 boards per night.

Sencire Harris (Cincinnati):

Surprisingly, Harris went from a full-time starter and defensive menace to a bench piece who saw just 16.9 minutes per game. Harris was not a great shooter at West Virginia, of course, and that remained the same this season, although he did improve his three-point shooting ever so slightly to 18.2%. He posted 5.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.2 steals.

KJ Tenner (Murray State):

Tenner started six games this season for the Racers, but mainly served as the backup point guard. He averaged six points per game, but did have two 20-point outings in the final four games of the regular season, putting up 20 on Evansville and 21 on Belmont.

Jayden Stone (Missouri):

Stone played a key role in the Tigers making it to the NCAA Tournament, posting rock-solid shooting splits of 48.2%/38.2%/80.2%. He never wanted to leave WVU, and because of the scary injury he sustained a year ago and the coaching change, he never got to suit up for the Mountaineers in a regular season game. Stone put up 13.2 points and five rebounds per game this season.
