Head coach Ross Hodge and the West Virginia Mountaineers basketball program has landed a key transfer portal commitment from a familiar face in North Texas forward Brenen Lorient.
Lorient, 6-foot-9, 215-pounds, played under Hodge last season with the Mean Green where he was voted first-team all-American Athletic Conference and was named the Sixth Man of the Year in the league.
Lorient averaged 11.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and over 1.1 blocks per game across 24.8 minutes per game. He shot 57-percent from the field and 47.8-percent from three on 23 attempts.
Lorient entered the transfer portal April 7 with a no contact designation, and it didn’t take long for him to commit to the Mountaineers to play under Hodge for his final season.
