WVU Transfer Kerr Kriisa Suspended 9 Games for Impermissible Benefits at Arizona

West Virginia guard Kerr Kriisa, a transfer from Arizona, has been suspended for nine games this season after admitting to accepting impermissible benefits during his time with the Wildcats. Kriisa, who averaged 9.9 PPG and 5.1 APG last season, will miss the games as part of his eligibility reinstatement.

The exact nature of the impermissible benefits and their impact in the name, image, and likeness era remains unclear.

Kerr Kriisa returns to WVU, Josh Eilert named interim head coach.

Former Arizona point guard Kerr Kriisa has withdrawn from the NCAA transfer portal and will return to West Virginia, where he transferred to in April. Kriisa had re-entered the portal in reaction to the sudden resignation of Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins, but the decision to elevate assistant Josh Eilert to interim head coach was enough to convince him to come back. Eilert, a first-time head coach, had been on West Virginia’s staff since 2007.

West Virginia University names Josh Eilert as interim head coach.

Kerr Kriisa, a transfer guard who committed to West Virginia in April, has decided to stay with the team after initially reentering the transfer portal following Bob Huggins' resignation. Kriisa was one of the best point guards in the transfer portal this spring and was one of the key players among a huge transfer class that Huggins recruited for next season. With the Mountaineers naming assistant coach and longtime staffer Josh Eilert the interim boss for the 2023-24 season, Kriisa is now back in the fold and believes the team is "about to do something very special."

Arizona Guard Kerr Kriisa Enters NCAA Transfer Portal.

Kerr Kriisa, the point guard for Arizona Wildcats, is leaving the team after three seasons and entering the NCAA transfer portal. Kriisa led the Pac-12 in assists for two consecutive years and became the second UA player with 80 or more 3-pointers in consecutive seasons. However, he was also criticized for his shooting percentage. With Kriisa's departure, the opportunity arises for 17-year-old Kylan Boswell to take over the point. Arizona must now replace all three starting guards.
