MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Bob Huggins isn’t planning on scrapping “Press Virginia” any time soon.
While there is a need to develop some stability at the guard positions, the West Virginia basketball coach will open preseason practice Saturday thinking the Mountaineers’ team strength will be in its depth.
That include walk-ons Logan Routt — Huggins said the 6-foot-11 forward gave up his scholarship from last season so West Virginia could recruit other players — and former Fairmont Senior standout Taevon Horton. Huggins said it might be realistic to use 15 players in some games.
That means players will come into games in waves, keeping guys fresh to run and press in WVU’s defensive style.
