Mountaineers add 4-star Oregon pass rusher

MORGANTOWN — It’s a big day for West Virginia in the transfer portal. Oregon pass rusher Tobi Haastrup has reportedly committed to the Mountaineers, according to Hayes Fawcett of On3. Haastrup is the fourth commitment for WVU on Friday, and the third transfer. He’s the second former 4-star to commit on the day, joining LSU corner Jacob Bradford. Haastrup didn’t play last year as a true freshman after an interesting path to Morgantown. He didn’t start playing football until his senior year of high school. Haastrup was born in London, England, and grew up mostly playing ...

WVU beefs up secondary, adding two DBs

MORGANTOWN — West Virginia isn’t quite done yet. The Mountaineers have gone quiet in the transfer portal, but added two additions on the day the portal is set to close. Kent State cornerback Jaire Rawlison announced through “JPGCFB” on social media, and he later confirmed that he has committed to WVU. A couple of hours later, WVU hit again, landing LSU transfer safety Jacob Bradford, according to On3. Rawlison and Bradford are WVU’s 28th and 29th transfers of the cycle, and Rawlison was the first since Monday, Jan. 2, when WVU picked up Mississippi State tight end Cam ...

Mountaineers entertain Colorado tonight

MORGANTOWN — It is a crossroads of sorts that will intersect inside the Hope Coliseum at 6 p.m. tonight, when Colorado travels to West Virginia. Both programs are sort of caught in that what-happens-next type of spot, almost mirroring each other as two teams looking to build respectability in an unforgiving Big 12 men’s basketball conference. The NCAA’s NET rankings maybe tells the best story. Colorado (12-5, 2-2 Big 12) is ranked No. 70, while WVU (11-6, 2-2) is No. 71, which is about as close as two teams can be in terms of competition, yet they are still a leap from ...
