The transfer gates are officially open in Morgantown. Tuesday evening, West Virginia guard Seth Wilson announced on Instagram that he is entering the transfer portal, becoming the first Mountaineer to do so this offseason.

"Dear Mountaineer Nation, it is with a heavy heart that I write this. I want to say that it has been a blessing to represent this great University and state. I want to thank all of my coaches, advisors, supporters, and fans over these past three years. Thank you for accepting me as one of your own as I committed and stepped foot on campus. My time here will be cherished and remembered forever.

"With that being said, after a lot of prayer and discussion with my family I have decided that it is best for me to enter the transfer portal and continue my athletic career and post graduate studies elsewhere. Thank you Mountaineer Nation from the bottom of my heart. Forever a Mountaineer!"

Wilson appeared in 82 career games with the Mountaineers and averaged 3.4 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 0.6 assists per game. He will have one year of eligibility remaining.
