West Virginia had an offseason that no one hoped for. Hall of Fame coach Bob Huggins is gone following a June drunken-driving arrest. Assistant Josh Eilert was named interim coach and worked to keep his roster from imploding. Several players left, many newcomers were added and only four veterans return.
FILE - Syracuse center Jesse Edwards, left, fights for a rebound against Wake Forest forward Zach Keller during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game in Syracuse, N.Y., March 4, 2023. Edwards transferred to West Virginia for the 2023-24 season. FILE - West Virginia athletic director Wren Baker, left, and interim NCAA college basketball coach Josh Eilert answer questions during a news conference, June 26, 2023, in Morgantown, W.Va.
On the wall of his office — Huggins’ old office — Eilert has a large photo of his introductory news conference. In the background is a reminder of his current situation: a TV graphic with the word “interim.” After transferring from Manhattan, Perez sat out last season when the NCAA denied his waiver to play immediately. He transferred to Arizona State.
In the mix at forward are Georgetown transfer Akok Akok; Iona transfer Quinn Slazinski; freshman Ofri Naveh and veteran bench players Josiah Harris and Patrick Suemnick.The roster has a considerable international flavor. For many of those foreign-born players, soccer was their first sport.
