Kriisa staying with West Virginia after entering transfer portal

Kerr Kriisa is staying put at West Virginia after recently entering the transfer portal following Bob Huggins' resignation, he announced Sunday on social media.

The ex-Arizona guard was one of the most highly coveted players available in the transfer portal last spring.

Kriisa shot 39.4% from deep last season and led the Pac-12 with 5.1 assists per contest as he helped the Wildcats win a second straight conference tournament crown. The 6-foot-3 senior is projected to start for the Mountaineers.

Over the weekend, West Virginia promoted assistant Josh Eilert as interim coach for the 2023-24 campaign.

The school is still awaiting a decision from big man Tre Mitchell and guard Joe Toussaint, who both joined Kriisa in the transfer portal on Friday.
