I saw a 6-10 guy that averaged 16 ppg from Iowa entered the portal. Can't remember his name.
Seriously? He got regular PT. I have to think this is more about NIL than anything else. He was valued there. Morgantown does suck as far as college towns go though. I don't know what WVU has available but for 30mpg, his numbers were decent for a freshman.Quote:

There were a lot of rumors last year about WVU offering big NIL deals, and the kids never getting paid. Dunno if that's what happened here, but hey could be the money, or could be he just doesn't want to stay in West Virginia for the rest of his college career.Quote:

He is one of the bigger transfers. Sat out a bunch because of a hurt finger- but it was allegedly bc he already had a deal in place for his next school. “Internet rumors” I should say, likely disgruntled fans. Just what I saw on Twitter thoughQuote:

Id love the kid from Virginia who we almost got a few years back.......McKneely....
Absolutely. Mercenary basketball is upon us. The highest bidder seems to win out but who knows? Maybe some will be content with their situations like Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills and not scream for more cash.Quote:

You can almost guarantee the staff knows well before the portal entry is even made.
I'm sure the portal antics are just as corrupt as everything else.
