These eight players are looking to begin the 2023-24 season with a new look inside the program. WVU interim HC Josh Eilert will take over for a season before being evaluated at the end of the year. Eilert replaces Bob Huggins, who resigned after 16 seasons as head coach of the Mountaineers.

Eilert’s staff had to retool the roster twice this offseason, both before and after Huggins. After all of the chaos this offseason, West Virginia welcomes eight scholarship players and a walk-on to the team while returning Harris, Johnson, Perez, Suemnick and Wilson. With 14 players, transfers RaeQuan Battle and Noah Farrakhan will need waivers cleared by the NCAA to participate this season. If denied, both players are eligible starting in the 2024-25 season.
