West Virginia Women's Basketball Lands Key Transfer

0:00On April 23rd, West Virginia women's basketball just landed a key transfer with head coach Mark Kellogg signing five foot seven guard, Kennedy Harris, from George Mason on Wednesday. Over three seasons, she played in 85 games with 59 starts, helping her team rack up 23 or more wins each year and snag. Their first ever NCAA tournament birth last season, Harris started strong as a freshman, averaging 9.4 points off the bench, then exploded as a sophomore with 13.9 points per. Game on 41% shooting, including 38% from three on over four attempts a night. This year, she bumped up to 14 points while grabbing 2.2 steals per game, her career high. Fans and analysts see her as a smart fit for the mountaineers, especially with her low 1.4 turnovers per game career average that could fix. Some of West Virginia's ball handling issues from last season, she's got strong defense and could step right in as a replacement for Jordan Harrison, bringing one year of eligibility.

Marquette, Zahira Walton from George Mason, and Divine Tumba, Tishibua Boa, plus center Kiyala Ingo Du from UCF. If Harris rebounds her shooting stroke and keeps playing lockdown D, she might push West Virginia deeper into March Madness next year.
