The transfer portal is set to officially open tomorrow, and the chaos will begin. A number of West Virginia Mountaineers have already announced their intentions to enter the portal, signaling another huge roster overhaul for the second consecutive offseason.

Some players are looking for more playing time, some more money, and others are being told they won't have a roster spot next fall. It's a harsh business, but it works both ways.

Keep in mind that the NCAA will have a roster limit of around 105 players. My count as of this writing on Thursday morning has WVU at 98. I expect a few more names to enter to create more room for incoming transfers.

Here is a full breakdown of how many players are at each position, featuring the returning players and those who signed with the program during the early signing period in December.

Note: This is not a depth chart projection. Players are not listed in any particular order. Also, we are including WR Jaden Bray for now, assuming he will get a medical waiver for this past season.
