Treysen Eaglestaff and Honor Huff have skills that translate to Big 12
The West Virginia basketball program made both Treysen Eaglestaff and Honor Huff priorities in the transfer portal when it came to the roster build.
Eaglestaff, 6-foot-6, 190-pounds, spent his entire career at North Dakota, where he improved in each of those seasons with the Fighting Hawks.
This past season was Eaglestaff’s most productive at the college level after averaging 18.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists while shooting 41.6-percent from the floor and 35.9-percent from three. He was one of the nation’s most productive scorers during the 2024-25 season.
Eaglestaff had initially committed to South Carolina but requested his release and committed to the Mountaineers giving the program a high-impact, versatile scorer.
Huff, 5-foot-10, 168-pounds, became a priority for the coaching staff once he entered the transfer portal and is coming off a season where he averaged 15.2 points, 2.3 assists and 1.8 rebounds while hitting 42.4-percent of his shots and an impressive 41.6-percent of his three-point attempts.
Overall, Huff made a total of 131 on the season from deep and that total ranked him atop all of college basketball in terms of made three-pointers. He was an all-Southern Conference first-team selection.
The season before at Chattanooga, Huff averaged 17.4 points, 2.6 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game while shooting 43.4-percent from the field and 38-percent from three. That earned him all-Southern Conference second team honors while starting all 33 games for the Mocs.
Huff started his career at VMI where he appeared in all 32 games and made 18 starts as a freshman while finishing third on the team and second among all freshmen in the league averaging 10 points per game. However, he was forced to sit out the 2022-23 campaign after transferring.
Both players have one year of eligibility remaining in their careers but are making the jump to the high-major level for the first time. Both bring qualities that should make that transition easy.
“The thing that both those guys can really do is shoot the basketball, which typically translates and they can both shoot it with range,” head coach Ross Hodge said.
Eaglestaff put that on display against Alabama last season when he scored 40 points while shooting 15-30 from the field and 8-18 from deep. He also scored 13 points against Notre Dame and shot 5-13 from the floor and 3-6 from deep.
Huff also performed well against Indiana when he scored 20 points on 6-13 shooting and 6-12 from three-point range so he has also performed well against high major competition.
And while the offensive end shouldn’t be an issue, Hodge said the biggest adjustment could come on the other end of the floor.
“They’re learning the defensive part of how we do things and that part is learning,” Hodge said. “But you know they’ve had a good summer. Both have worked really hard. Their bodies have changed, which is a big part of what you want to try to get accomplished in the summer.”
And Hodge has high expectations for both.“Expect them to be, they’re good players, you know, they’re good players and expect them to be good players for us,” he said.
