I couldn’t be more excited about workouts tomorrow. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. It’s been 4 months since I was with my family/team, and this could be the most talented team we’ve had at WVU in my 13 years here. National Championship or Bust! Let’s get it!!!!!.

There are 2 types of fans, all fans cheer for you when you win, but there are those that cheer harder after a loss because they truly believe that their cheering can help put their team over the top. That is a TRUE FAN!.

Yesterday I lost a friend. He was one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met. Billy and I worked together for 10+ years, I’ll always remember the bus rides, flights,road trips with Dawg. I learned so much from him…. he was 1 of my mentors. RIP Billy I love you man🙏🏾

I want to send a big shot out out to Coach Mike Boyton at Oklahoma State. He had to keep a team motivated that knew at the start of the season there would be no opportunity for post season play. Had to be difficult. Congratulations Coach on a great year!.

Sags is going to go thru the process, and wait to see what the NBA says about his draft position. All we can do is wait and not speculate. It’s his choice, and if he decides to go I’ll wish him luck, and so should all of Mountaineer nation.
@CoachEMartinWVU coach help me out. is it true or speculation that Sags is coming back?.
