James Okonkwo - Could redshirt this season Okonkwo (foot) is facing the possibility of a redshirt for the 2021-22 season, Schuyler Callihan of Sports Illustrated reports.
Impact The report cites a press conference with head coach Bob Huggins in which Huggins admits that the original plan was to redshirt Okonkwo, but that the 6-8 freshman impressed him enough for an early-season role to be in consideration. He then suffered a foot injury in late-September and there haven't been many updates since, though Huggins did note that "it's neither [a break or fracture]." He went on to explain in non-formal medical terms how two bones that were once together were ultimately separated, expressing uncertainty in what the recovery procedure looks like, as well as the original 5-to-6 week timeline. In the meantime, West Virginia has been starting a pair of underclassmen in freshman Isaiah Cottrell and sophomore Jalen Bridges at the two frontcourt positions, with seniors Dimon Carrigan and Gabe Osabuohien representing the first two off the bench.

Sean McNeil - Struggles shooting in Friday's loss McNeil totaled 12 points (4-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 82-71 loss to Marquette.
Impact McNeil did not have a very efficient outing in the loss. He has averaged 12.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 2.3 three-pointers through the first four games of the season. McNeil should continue to play big minutes and see quite a few shots each game the rest of the season. The Mountaineers will host Clemson on Sunday.

Taz Sherman - Game-high 21 points in loss Sherman provided 21 points (7-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound and five assists in 38 minutes during Friday's 82-71 loss to Marquette.
Impact Sherman led all scorers despite being on the losing team. West Virginia has been relying on Sherman probably too much this season to score for them. Through four games the junior is putting up 20.8 points, 4.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 1.3 three-pointers in 34.5 minutes per contest. Sherman is only shooting 39 percent from the field and 20 percent from deep, however.

Malik Curry - Efficient off bench Friday Curry recorded 10 points (5-5 FG, 0-1 FT), three assists and two steals in 12 minutes during Friday's 74-59 victory over Pittsburgh.
Impact Curry was thought to have a bigger role this season after coming over from Old Dominion and averaging 15.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.9 steals per contest last year. So far Kendrian Johnson has gotten the start at point in the first two games and has played more. That could change later this season, however, but for now it looks like Johnson, Taz Sherman, and Sean McNeil in the backcourt.
NOVEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Kedrian Johnson - Seven steals on Friday Johnson notched four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-3 FT), two rebounds, six assists and seven steals in 24 minutes during Friday's 74-59 victory over Pittsburgh.
Impact Johnson was flying around all over the place against Pittsburgh with his career-high seven steals. It was thought that transfer Malik Curry would be the guy that would come in and start at point guard with Miles McBride now gone, but early in the season it appears to be Johnson's job for now.
NOVEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Bridges - Leads way for Mountaineers Friday Bridges amassed 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist and five blocks across 32 minutes during Friday's 74-59 win over Pittsburgh.
Impact Bridges was easily the best big on the court for the Mountaineers. He was able to get going from behind the arc and be a presence on the interior defensively with his five blocks. If West Virginia can get scoring like this consistently from Bridges this season, that is a game changer for a team that struggles to score outside of Taz Sherman and Sean McNeil.
