I have been a fan of Jordan McCabe since he enrolled at WVU. He was Mr. Basketball at Wisconsin where he played high school BB. Unfortunately it did not panned out at WVU. Still he played unselfishly but I still would like to see him took more shots than passings.I am glad that he comes to join Mountaineers Nation as an assistant coach. Great of Eilert to offer him the job and must have think a lot of him to say that.I was a postgraduate at WVU and taught there for several years. Now I am back in Thailand and follow WVU sports regularly.

Anybody remember names like Tre Mitchell, Joe Toussaint, Mohammed Wague, and James Okonkwo…?? If Eilert had kept some of the “bigs”, or worked to keep Perez, we wouldn’t be in this situation. Running off a player because he wants some choice in what is going on with his education. Own it, Eilert…we are where we are because of you.
