Names to Watch in the Transfer Portal for WVU
Nowadays, college athletics is more about roster management than it is about roster building thanks to the transfer portal. As of December 29th, West Virginia has lost 18 players to the portal and has only seen three announce their intentions to transfer into the program.
With anywhere from eight to twelve scholarship spots available, there will be more help on the way. Below is a list of players in the portal that WVU has offered or have targeted over the last few weeks.
