All four West Virginia graduate transfers made impact in first game

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Neal Brown went 4-for-4 in one important category of West Virginia’s season-opening win over James Madison.

All four graduate transfers who arrived at WVU this offseason made an immediate impact in their first game as Mountaineers.

While Brown is happy that’s the case, he said off-field intangibles were an even bigger factor in bringing each player into the program.

“We were in culture-building mode this summer. We were really choosy about who we brought in,” Brown said. “Down the road, when I feel better about the makeup of our locker room, it will be based a little more on talent than what they bring into the locker room.
