Currently, there are four native of the Mountain State on the roster. WVU head coach Bob Huggins isn’t shy about attracting West Virginians. In turn, it seems like the Mountaineers are a natural landing spot for the state’s top players.
Incoming freshman Chase Harler is the most recent addition to the native West Virginians. He joins Logan Routt, also from the Ohio Valley. Routt is a 6-foot-11 native of Cameron, who garnered national headlines on the football field for being one of the tallest prep quarterbacks in the country.
Already established on the team are, of course, Nathan Adrian and James Long.
