Suemnick averaged 4.1 points and 2.6 rebounds through 32 games for the Mountaineers this past season. The 6-foot-8 forward filled in for Jesse Edwards, who dealt with a fractured wrist injury for over a month during the season and posted 8.2 points and 4.8 rebounds during his six starts. Suemnick’s highlight of the 2023-24 season occurred vs. Kansas, scoring 20 points and leading the Mountaineers to an upset win over the then-No. 3 Jayhawks.

Suemnick joined West Virginia’s team in 2022 under former HC Bob Huggins. The Green Bay, Wi. native previously played at Robert Morris and Triton College (JUCO) before WVU. Suemnick stayed with the Mountaineers following Huggins’ resignation, joining interim HC Josh Eilert.

Suemnick has one year of eligibility remaining.

West Virginia has lost four players to the transfer portal during the spring window as Suemnick joins Josiah Harris (F), Kerr Kriisa (G) and Seth Wilson (G). The Mountaineers also plan on hosting Conor Enright (G – Drake) and Toby Okani (F – UIC) for visits this month. WVU has received one transfer commit during the offseason in Drake’s Tucker DeVries, as he follows his dad Darian.

Sorry to see him and Kerr Kriisa go – both were major contributors last year. Looks like most of them will start departing now (hope I’m wrong).

i think it’s a step in the right direction for wvu bb,,, he never did really be a positive influence to winning … but i hope that devries will hurry up, get some assistants, and be preparing to sign some top flight power 5 players so we won’t repeat last yrs outcome,, if you can’t find any assistants, there’s 3 that just got fired from wvu, who gained some valuable experience. i like all of them, and they know how and where to recruit…we need to think about this fall and not 2 yrs down the road coach,, we still have very sour taste in our mouths from what happend this past season,,, let’s go eers…
