Bob Huggins is out as the West Virginia men’s basketball coach, and that created a clear rift between the program and players that were recruited by the long-time, high-profile coach.

One of those was Tre Mitchell, who quickly went to the transfer portal. Mitchell would later commit to John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats, giving the team some much-needed experience.

Coming from WVU, Mitchell has already played four years in college, spending two of those at UMass, one at Texas and the other at West Virginia. He averaged north of 17 points per game in his first two collegiate seasons.
