West Virginia Basketball: Why Tucker DeVries is the most important team transfer for 2024-25

The dismissal of Bob Huggins led to a bit of a lame duck season, as interim coach Josh Eilert led the Mountaineers to a paltry 9-23 record, sitting at the bottom of the Big 12 standings. A few months ago West Virginia found their new leader, bringing Darian DeVries aboard to rejuvenate this program, and he had plenty of work ahead of him.

He was also named the Big East Offensive Player of the Year in 2006 and 2007. The one box he didn't check? Being named an All-American. Somehow, someway, one of the nation's top quarterbacks at the time never reached All-American status and because of that, he is ineligible for the College Football Hall of Fame.
