"Quinn Slazinski's Transfer Boosts WVU Basketball Roster"

West Virginia University's basketball team receives a commitment from forward Quinn Slazinski, marking the second transfer portal commitment in two weeks under interim head coach Josh Eilert. Slazinski, a 6-foot-9 forward, brings versatility to the team with his ball-handling skills and ability to spread the floor. The team is also actively recruiting Israeli forward Ofri Naveh and is in contact with other transfer portal recruits. WVU is looking to fill three remaining spots on the roster and is hoping for the return of Jose Perez. The coaching staff's successful recruitment efforts demonstrate their ability to find talent even late in the offseason.

Eilert, a first-time head coach, had been on West Virginia’s staff since 2007.

Josh Eilert named interim head coach for West Virginia men's basketball team.

West Virginia has named assistant coach Josh Eilert as the interim head coach for the 2023-24 season, following the resignation of Bob Huggins. Huggins resigned after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. Eilert, who has been with the program for 15 years, was the preferred choice of the players. The decision to promote Eilert was made to avoid a roster purge, as external candidates were already committed to their schools for the upcoming season.
