According to On3.com, the Mountaineers already had the #1 transfer class before adding Battle. The addition of Battle will only increase West Virginia’s lead at the top of the transfer portal rankings.
Bob Huggins and his staff have worked miracles and positioned the Mountaineers to enter next season as a potential favorite in the Big 12 Conference and truly a contender to compete for a national championship.
