West Virginia Lands Sharpshooter Martin Somerville

0:00On April 23, West Virginia, just snagged a solid pickup from the transfer portal, landing Florida State Guard Martin Somerville, a six foot three, 185 pound sharp shooter with two years of eligibility left. Somerville flew under the radar out of high school, picking UMass Lowell over a bunch of mid majors where he balled out as a freshman, dropping, 13.6 points, 3.7 assists, and hitting 40% from three. He leveled up to Florida State next, playing in 33 games with 10 starts, averaging 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. In 26 minutes, though his shooting dip to 33% overall. At West Virginia, he slots in as a bench spark of Miles Sadler, potentially filling minutes if a mere Jenkins sits, bringing two-way juice with. Off-ball scoring and playmaking for Coach Ross Hodge. The mountaineer's roster lives deep at guard with Sadler, Jenkins, Finley Bizjack, and now Somerville. But they're still hunting portal talent around, things out before the season tips.
