Report: McNeil narrows down list of schools
A decision could be coming for West Virginia transfer Sean McNeil.
McNeil recently told CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein that he has narrowed down his list of schools to six with Ohio State, Virginia, Louisville, Cincinnati, Indiana and Texas Tech are all in the running for the former Mountaineers guard.
McNeil, who’ll have one year of eligibility remaining as a graduate transfer, garnered plenty of high-major interest on the recruiting trail. On3’s Jamie Shaw reported plenty of other big names in on him shortly after he entered the transfer portal, including Clemson, Oklahoma State and TCU. Now, the list is down to six.
West Virginia had a rough go in 2021-22, going 16-17 overall and 4-14 in Big 12 action. The Mountaineers missed out on the postseason for the first time since 2012-13. Of course, the NCAA canceled postseason tournaments in 2019-20, but West Virginia had a chance of making it to the NCAA Tournament that year.
