Last offseason saw a lot of change in the West Virginia men's basketball program. Only one player returned from last year's roster, and that means seven players from the 2023-2024 roster are playing collegiate basketball somewhere else this season.
The regular season is now over, and with that is a look back at how certain guys played at their new destination this past season.
