West Virginia's new head coach Ross Hodge has been quick to build the basketball roster, adding five players in just one week. The additions include UNC Wilmington's Harlan Obioha, North Texas' Brenen Lorient, Chattanooga's Honor Huff, Troy's Jackson Fields, and Deandre Thomas from Allen (Tx.). Obioha and Lorient bring size and skill to the frontcourt, while Huff is noted for his scoring ability and three-point shooting. Fields offers versatility on both ends of the court, and Thomas adds depth as a versatile forward.
The Mountaineers are actively seeking more talent, with Lincoln Memorial guard Wes Enis being a prime target. Enis has demonstrated his scoring prowess and defensive capabilities during his time in college, making him a potential impactful addition to the team. West Virginia's roster construction under Hodge's leadership is still ongoing, showcasing the program's commitment to strengthening the team for the upcoming season.
