How a lot can West Virginia get out of Emmitt Matthews Jr.? For me, that is going to be what makes/breaks this recreation for the Mountaineers. When he is on the ground, the whole lot appears extra organized and panic would not set in. He’ll give high quality minutes, however I am unsure he’ll be fairly 100% himself in his first recreation again.
At instances this season, WVU has had hassle holding groups out of the paint. Keyontae Johnson and Nae’Qwan Tomlin will give the Mountaineers matches, particularly when Jimmy Bell Jr. is on the bench.
A sluggish begin for West Virginia results in dropping the Large 12 opener.

Kansas State has ripped off 5 consecutive wins after struggling its solely lack of the season on the street to Butler 76-64, with all 5 victories at house.
Guard Markquis Nowell is second within the nation in assists per recreation at 8.3 and has an unimaginable story in ahead Keyontae Johnson, who’s averaging a team-best 17.7 factors per recreation to go along with a team-leading 6.8 rebounds per recreation.
WVU head coach Bob Huggins mentioned Nowell is “the engine that drives the prepare” when referencing the Wildcats’ offense. He put up 21 factors towards the Mountaineers in Manhattan final season.
Regardless of Nowell’s success, West Virginia has a number of guards that may include and put on down Nowell, and the Mountaineers have the dimensions benefit within the paint, however WVU might want to talk on the defensive finish of the ground to have success.
West Virginia has loads of choices offensively as properly, however it should take a crew effort to get a W within the Bramlage Coliseum. I feel the Mountaineers grind out a victory, 73-65.

West Virginia Native Plant Society looks for rare plants in Mercer County
![West Virginia Native Plant Society looks for rare plants in Mercer County](https://gray-wvva-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com/resizer/v2/7CRCSLAF7VCJLIH3AXVDA3NWMU.jpg?auth=fe60e8d660be4c5f12c9d5eea65980c81c5cb2b5bf4e3f9f5d6aed84cb9648df&width=1200&height=600&smart=true)
MERCER COUNTY, W. Va. (WVVA) -If you are looking for something fun to do this summer, you might want to start by looking at the natural beauty to be found in your own backyard. That’s what brought one state-wide botany group to our neck of the woods this weekend.
The West Virginia Native Plant Society (WVNPS) is a group of people who travel to different places looking for rare plants found in the Mountain State. Their journey brought them to Mercer County, first to the Brush Creek Preserve on Saturday and then to Pinnacle Rock State Park on Sunday. There, they looked for rare plants like the Carolina lily and the highbush blueberry patch.
Kevin Campbell, a trustee for WVNPS and one of the organizers for this expedition, says the natural uniqueness of this part of West Virginia makes it the perfect spot for plant-based tourism.
“You start getting different geologic formations. You are on the edge of the ridge and valley region here of the state, so you have a lot more varied habitats to look at, and that means a lot more plants to look at,” says Campbell.
Campbell says this was the Society’s first visit to the area since their last visit a decade ago.
If you would like more information about the West Virginia Native Plant Society, how to join the group, or the plants to be found in the state, Campbell encourages you to check out the WVNPS Facebook group.

WVSports – 2027 OL Jaiden Lindsay adds first offer from West Virginia
Olney (Md.) Good Counsel 2027 offensive lineman Jaiden Lindsay competed in the second West Virginia big man camp of the summer and walked away with a scholarship offer.
Lindsay, 6-foot-3, 275-pounds, was one of the standouts during the event, especially during the one-on-one portion and once it was over he met with offensive line coach Matt Moore.
“He told me he was very impressed with my skills at such a young age. My reactions were I was shocked and proud of myself because I know that I worked hard for this opportunity,” he said.
The Mountaineers became the first Division One program to offer the versatile offensive lineman who was impressed with the set up of the big man camp as well as how the coaches taught him. He was especially impressed with how the coaches treated every kid on campus the same.
But his performance did warrant some additional feedback.
“The type of feedback I got was Coach Moore told me I could be a great offensive lineman if I keep working and hit the weight room,” he said.
West Virginia is targeting Lindsay anywhere from tackle to center depending on how he continues to develop his body and that versatility is something that caught the attention of Moore as well.
“That would help me in the future and they want to see me develop and grow,” he said.
The plan is for Lindsay to get another look at West Virginia in the future.
“I would love to come back for another visit,” he said.
