Morgantown, West Virginia – Bob Huggins often talks about how he met Jevon Carter.
Huggins was tracking talent at an AAU tournament when he chanced upon Carter, a three-star recruit from Illinois, at 8:00 am.
“He’s on the furthest pitch you can get and this guy is squeezing at 8am. Nobody else on his team was pressing,” Huggins said. “Only him, squeezing people from finish to finish.”
Huggins went on to say, “I called my assistant and said we need to get this guy’s signature. They’re like ‘What does he do well?’ I said, ‘Gosh, I don’t know what he’s doing so well, but he’s just too much trying to keep up.’”
Jevon Carter went on to become a first-team All Big 12, All-American, two-time Top 12 Defending Player of the Year and one of the greatest players in West Virginia basketball history.
Fast forward to 2022 and West Virginia’s basketball program falls apart. The Mountaineers lost nearly all of their most talented players, including seniors Taz Sherman, Gabe Osabuohien, Malik Curry, Pauly Paulicap, Dimon Carrigan, as well as the transfers of Jalen Bridges and Isaiah Cottrell.
Huggins is left with a mix of role-playing and freshmen, and this offseason is probably going to be one of the most important ever. While Huggins and his staff have been actively pursuing {some|some|more than one} of the most lauded players to enter the transfer portal so far, it is unlikely that the Mountaineers will be able to completely rebuild their roster via the portal.
What Bob Huggins needed was a Jevon Carter-like miracle. The Mountaineers dropped by from a 13-19 season against 2012-13 and a 17-16 record against 2013-14 prior to when Carter stopped by Morgantown.
While Carter was in West Virginia, the Mountaineers finished 25-10, 26-9, 28-9 and 26-11, and his motivation and intensity for the game, as well as his support of Bob Huggins’ system, changed too much. program culture.
