BREAKING: Transfer Forward Cleared for 2021-2022 Season

Morgantown, West Virginia – Former DePaul standout Pauly Paulicap has officially been cleared to play the 2021-2022 season for the West Virginia Mountaineers!

Paulicap, a former MAAC Defensive Player of the Year, averaged 10.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game while at Manhattan during the 2019-2020 season, and then averaged 7.2 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game last season with DePaul.

Huggins is clearly prioritizing defense in the offseason, and Paulicap was one of the best available defensive prospects in the transfer portal.

Paulicap, a 6’8 forward originally from Elmont, New York, is an extremely high-energy player that will provide an immediate boost to the Mountaineers’ porous interior defense.

With the return of Gabe Osabuohien and Huggins landing out the most most impactful defensive players available, look for West Virginia’s top weakness last season to actually become a strength next season.

Paulicap is a graduate transfer and has one year of eligibility remaining.
