I’m completely bought in on West Virginia

Loved the mid season pickups. Love the Kerr Kriisa and Jesse Edwards pickups

ACC is the toughest league for centers. He averaged a double double. Shot 60% from the field. 11th in the country in block percentage

Perez is a great leader.

How about Bob Huggins? West Virginia picks up a massive add in the portal with Syracuse transfer Jesse Edwards, who will join Arizona transfer guard Kerr Kriisa in Morgantown. WVU stacking up some intriguing talent. https://t.co/N0sMP4zquJ

Bob Huggins is embracing PORTAL KOMBAT.

West Virginia has added two impact starters — Kerr Kriisa (Arizona) and Jesse Edwards (Syracuse) — during the offseason and is now 34th in the ROTHSTEIN 45.https://t.co/i2WnusPhPc

WVU has seemingly had a best-player-available strategy in the portal… oddly constructed team, but Edwards is the best big in the portal and a legit difference-maker: https://t.co/dKknZTFxRd

Excellent addition for @WVUhoops. Traditional big who can score inside, rebound & defend the rim. Will definitely be in All @Big12Conference discussion next season. https://t.co/t5xQIzsRzg
