WVU Basketball Sights and Sounds: A Look at New Era
WVU Basketball opened up practice for the media on Tuesday morning before the team goes on its foreign tour in a couple weeks. With a lot of new faces, on roster and staff, it was a first-look at what West Virginia might look like heading into the 2024-25 season under head coach Darian DeVries.
The team went through multiple drills and capped off practice with a 5v5 full-court scrimmage for 16 minutes. Former WVU forward Nate Adrian participated in the drills as well.
WVU F Tucker DeVries fully participated as he was fully cleared for contact last week and guard Joseph Yesufu did not participate in contact drills.
Here’s some pictures and clips from Tuesday’s practice.

West Virginia’s transfer class is highlighted by Tucker DeVries (F – Drake) and Javon Small (G – Oklahoma State). Both DeVries and Small have been ranked highly in the transfer databases, including The Portal Report’s database with DeVries at No. 1 overall.
The new Mountaineer staff have rounded out the roster with Toby Okani (G – UIC), Sencire Harris (G – Illinois), Amani Hansberry (F – Illinois), Eduardo Andre (C – Fresno State), Joseph Yesufu (G – Washington State) and Jayden Stone (G – Detroit Mercy).
West Virginia has 11 scholarship players on the roster with two spots available for the 2024-25 season if they choose to use them.
