whose fault is it that he only has 9 men on the roster? I mean shite, bring in a couple JUCOs or something.

WVU only had 8-9 (can't remember which) scholarship players this year, and they turned in a winning record and went .500 in conference.

3 players went down with season ending knee injuries in the offseason, all 3 of them were big men at 6'9 or taller. That is why there is no depth in the post

Then we brought in UTEP Transfer Chris Washburn(who had a lot of offers out of HS) who is 6'8 and could have helped in the post, but his appeal for immediate eligibility was denied.

Transfer Trey Zielger was not eligible but was a McDonalds All American with offers from Duke, UNC, etc. he will start next year

Charles Hill Jr. contributed in non conference but was ruled ineligible in conference play due to grades, but he was a guard not a big man so wouldn't have helped in areas of need.

This situation wouldn't have been fixed by bringing in JUCOs, especially since all of the injuries happened in July and Washburn was being counted on to be ruled eligible.
