It was a very active news week for WVU sports, especially when you consider it’s June. The Mountaineer Sports weekly roundup will get you up to speed on this week’s Mountaineer news.
The transfer portal was a big part of the news this week. Three West Virginia safeties entered the portal, two of them were slated to be starters. Kenny Robinson, who many would consider the best returning player on defense, is headed out of Morgantown after entering the transfer portal.

Bob Huggins added another piece to his recruiting class. With the amount of attrition from the team over the last year, there were certainly some holes to be filled. Huggins has done just that. The most recent addition was 6’10” forward Ethan Richardson of Fresno City College. A big man with a sweet stroke.
