West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez is no stranger to roster rebuilds.

Last season, Rodriguez welcomed a total of 60 new players to the Jacksonville State roster and still managed to lead the Gamecocks to a 9-5 record and a Conference USA Championship.

This undertaking with the Mountaineers might actually end up being more as Rodriguez expects that the final number of newcomers will be around 70 of the 105 roster size.

Some of that is just the nature of college football in general with the rise of the transfer portal combined with a coaching change in Morgantown.
