Myers is absolutely a significant setback that was expected by no one, including Huggins, who felt earlier this summer Myers would enroll & join the team in August once the fall semester began.
As to Myers not coming to WVU at all & apparently going back to JUCO across the country, I don't entirely get that. Must not be able to enroll at WVU just yet. Let's hope one delay doesn't turn into more.
Seemed everyone was in agreement he'd play an impactful role this season, and even had a possible shot at earning the starting PG job as the season progressed.
The team does need additional scoring punch (2-year leading scorer is gone) & could certainly improve shooting percentages from 3, 2 & FTs. Of course the nation's leading JUCO scorer could only help in those ways. Same for Myers' passing, driving & transition game.
In his absence, we've got a PG who hasn't started yet - but has some experience and ability yes - and a true freshman PG who should be good in time, but needs to get acclimated to division I basketball.
Even though Carter gives WV his most productive minutes at the 2, he's gonna hhave to contribute at the 1. Unless Phillip & Bolden can together service the position, which could turn out.
