Atmosphere Big Draw for Tynice Martin

Tynice Martin.

Transitioning from Atlanta to Morgantown can be a difficult adjustment. However, freshman guard Tynice Martin has relished the opportunity to be a part of a tight-knit community at West Virginia University.

“I picked WVU because of the atmosphere,” said Martin. “It’s a college town, so everybody knows each other. I feel like we have more exposure here than other schools because there aren’t distractions like pro teams.”

The Atlanta, Georgia, native was ranked as the 16th-best wing player by ESPN HoopGurlz and FullCourt.com listed Martin as the 22nd-best prospect for the class of 2015 in the publication’s yearly Fresh 50.
