2026 West Virginia basketball transfer portal tracker
The transfer portal opened on April 7 and significant movement is happening across the country. That has been especially true for West Virginia as the Mountaineers are rebuilding the majority of the roster this offseason.
To keep everything in one place, WVSports.com will track every roster change involving the Mountaineers throughout the portal period, which ended on April 21. Even with the window closed, teams can still add players who entered the portal before April 22.
Below are the players who have announced that they will enter the portal from West Virginia men’s basketball, the additions the staff has landed through the portal, and the prospects who have received offers.
Also, check out our West Virginia Basketball Roster Chart to see where the roster stands today.
