Three Former Mountaineers Face West Virginia This Season
si.com —
Three former West Virginia Mountaineers basketball players will face their old team this season after transferring to Virginia Tech, Pitt, and TCU. The matchups are scheduled for December and March. Amani Hansberry transferred to Virginia Tech following coach Darian DeVries' departure, reuniting with assistant coach Chester Frazier. Jonathan Powell moved to Pitt after a reduced role at North Carolina, while DJ Thomas joined TCU despite a strong freshman season at West Virginia. The transfers reflect significant roster turnover at West Virginia due to coaching instability over the past four years. The games will occur in Morgantown and Pittsburgh, with Thomas returning to face his former team in March.
