#WVU #WestVirginiaMountaineers #CollegeBasketball Welcome back to Locked On West Virginia! I'm your host, Mountaineer Paul, diving deep into the latest on WVU basketball and Coach Ross Hodge’s first roster build. Today, we’re breaking down the burning question: How much have the Mountaineers spent in the transfer portal to enhance this squad? Spoiler alert: It’s a lot, and we’ve got the insider scoop! We talked to three industry insiders—a consultant and two staff members from separate schools—who estimate WVU’s transfer haul is worth between $5.55M and $6.3M. That’s potentially over the $5M budget we’ve heard was allocated for portal signings. But here’s the kicker: WVU might’ve gotten some deals, and with no hard cap on spending, they’re moving money around to make this roster NCAA Tournament-ready. We’ll unpack the frontloaded NIL offers, revenue-sharing strategies, and how WVU’s balancing the books with about $2.2M left for the rest of the roster.
