#WVU #WestVirginiaFootball #Mountaineers Fox Sports, AP, and national outlets are pushing a loud narrative: West Virginia lost too much in the transfer portal and can’t recover. Over 50 players gone. Massive roster turnover. A returning coach — yet chaos everywhere. But does that narrative actually hold up? In this episode, we take the exact arguments being made against West Virginia Mountaineers, compare WVU directly to other Big 12 programs dealing with similar (or worse) attrition, and then dig into what really matters — who the Mountaineers kept. We break down: Why raw portal numbers are misleading How WVU compares to Baylor, UCF, Colorado, and others The importance of retaining the offensive line core Scotty Fox Jr. returning at QB and the Michael Hawkins Jr. competition Defensive front-seven continuity that’s being ignored nationally And why this roster may actually be positioned for moderate success in Year 2 under Rich Rodriguez This isn’t blind optimism. This is context, honesty, and reality — something the national coverage isn’t giving you. 🔗 HASHTAGS #WVU #WestVirginiaFootball #Mountaineers #Big12 #CollegeFootball #TransferPortal #RichRod #NIL #PortalEra #WVUFootball #CFB
