Mountaineers Focused on Little Things
When a team ends a season on a 5-1 streak and wins those five games by an average margin of 17 points, you expect a few things. First, you expect to receive some consideration in the coaches and media polls. Second, provided they return a majority of their production, you expect the focus heading into the next season to change. Massive overhauls are no longer required. Instead, we see the 2024 Mountaineers focused on little things heading into Fall camp. As for consideration in the polls, the West Virginia Mountaineers garner very little, much to Head Coach Neal Brown’s chagrin. “What gives?” That is a question he openly asks in his media appearances this offseason.
