MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Imagine for a minute, what it would be like for football coach Dana Holgorsen to begin the regular season knowing he’s not going to have his top three players, or, for men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins or baseball coach Randy Mazey to see some of their top players leave campus for a couple of weeks during the season before returning to the team?
It would be pretty disruptive, wouldn’t it?
To a certain extent, these coaches have to deal with this when their underclass players are selected in the professional draft, but at least they have them until the season is over.
