Independent IFC begins new era in Morgantown BY JOE SEVERINO NEWS EDITOR A functioning Independent Interfraternity Council (IIFC) is now operating in Morgantown after a two-month standoff with the University, and leaders of the new council say it’s here to stay. The IIFC elected executive members and committees last Wednesday, but the process of forming an independent council has been in the works since the summer. Jimmy Frey, vice president of community relations for the IIFC, said Friday the fraternities had a guiding hand from the independent fraternities at the University of Nevada, Reno. “It was easier than I thought. We’re not the first ones to do this,” Frey said. “So, we just kind of rode the coattails of Reno, Nevada. They did it, and they gave us their bylaws and their constitution and we tweaked it and put our twist on it.” Frey, who is in Sigma Chi, said his fraternity chose to disassociate mainly over the results of the University-issued Reaching the Summit report that put further restrictions on Greek life on campus. The report also put an interim suspension on Sigma Chi, where leaders of the chapter and alumni had to present “a rehabilitative action plan” to WVU in order to earn back

He said the chapter was not awarded due process through Reaching the Summit. “We didn’t get a fair trial this summer when things unfolded,” he said. “The school can make excuses and people can make excuses and what not, but at the end of the day, what’s right is right and we didn’t get the right to due process, and we’re getting punished for things we already got punished for.” Reaching the Summit also drew
direct dissent from the fraternities’ national offices, which Frey said caused Sigma Chi’s nationals to rebuke WVU. The offices also took issue with deferred recruitment. “So, why are we getting double jeopardy? Nationals are mad about that, and fall recruitment was definitely another aspect of it, too,” he said. Speaking to the Charleston Gazette-Mail in June, Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Matthew Richardson said the working group that issued the Reaching the

Summit report decided what organizations to discipline based on a blind review of conduct violations. He said a fraternity’s conduct violations from the previous year were shown, but the organization’s names were hidden. The working group then decided on what restrictions to implement. “Decisions on action plans, or suspension, or anything like that, was done on an objective basis based on the information we had in front of us,” Richardson told the Gazette-Mail. Frey said at the end of the day, it was a financial decision to disassociate as well. “We always did fall rush, and when it comes to nationals, we have to pay them, we’ve got to pay bills, we’ve got to have dues, we’ve got to have people in the house,” Frey said. “We have to try to grow as a chapter and grow right.” President E. Gordon Gee hit the national offices over the oversight of its Morgantown chapters in a letter to parents dated Sept. 27, announcing the 10-year ban of the five disassociated fraternities. “The national organizations have no ability to conduct local oversight of these chapters as their offices are located states away. I believe these national organizations are more concerned about dollars than our students’ lives,” Gee wrote.

Bell-ringing ceremony honors life of student BY GABRIELLA BROWN STAFF WRITER On Friday, family, friends and the WVU community gathered in remembrance of Anthony Cistaro, 19, an accounting student from Clarksburg, West Virginia. “Anthony leaves behind many more people than I can name today that will love and miss him,” said Kim Mosby, senior associate dean of students. “He will always be alive on our campus, in our hearts and in our lives through our wonderful memories of experiences together.” Cistaro passed away in September. The bell-ringing ceremony was a way to commemorate and remember his life. Mosby said the ceremony is a time for friends, family and WVU faculty to get together and share their experiences and memories. Cistaro’s family members were presented a certificate in honor of Cistaro, signed by WVU President E. Gordon Gee and Corey Farris, dean of students at WVU. At the end of the ceremony, service attendees came together to mourn as well as celebrate the life of Cistaro by sharing kind words and comforting one another.

FAFSA fine print creating issues for students BY JARED SERRE STAFF WRITER The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will not provide funding for a student’s final semester if they are not taking classes in their major. If a student has finished or will finish courses titled under their major, FAFSA will not fund further semesters, WVU’s Executive Director of Financial Aid and Scholarship Sandra Oerly-Bennett said in an email. “If an accounting major is taking a physical education course that is not required for their degree, financial aid cannot apply to that course or count toward enrollment requirements for financial aid to disburse,” Oerly-Bennett said. “Financial aid may be available to help fund courses in a student’s final semester that are required for their degree.” At least one student became unpleasantly aware of this just before the

Lucas Thompson, a senior political science student from Daniels, West Virginia semester began. Lucas Thompson, a senior political science student from Daniels, West Virginia, was forced to stack his class schedule for the current semester due to the issue, ultimately making his seventh semester his last. “I had planned on taking Spanish 204 this spring, but wasn’t informed I had to have a political science class for my loan to still be offered for the full academic year,” Thomp-
son said. “As a political science major, only POLS distinguished classes would be supported by the federal loan, [something I was never informed of ].” Thompson ended up having to take all of his remaining credit hours during the fall semester. “I pay next to nothing here tuition-wise because of scholarships, but had I not realized my loan was revoked, I would have been one to two classes from graduating with no loan [money],” Thompson said. “My loan pretty much just covers my housing, books, etc.” According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 96,610 students filed the FAFSA in West Virginia for the 2015-16 application cycle. “We understand that minimizing student loan debt is a priority, and this is a way to help students stay on track and complete their degree before they run out of aid,” Oerly-Bennett said. “There isn’t an unlimited amount of financial aid to distribute, so
the U.S. Department of Education must determine how to distribute available funds responsibly to students so that students who are taking degree-pursuant courses have the funds they need to complete their degree.” However, Thompson, who is hoping to attend law school next fall, hopes to use this as a learning experience for him and others. “My only advice would be to make sure people schedule strategically to make sure this type of thing doesn’t happen to them,” Thompson said. “Be involved with your adviser or you’ll fall through the cracks, so to speak, and might have a less than ideal situation.” “Along with my LSAT, capstone, and the other multitude of other decisions I’ve had to make in regards to graduating, it’s put me in a really strenuous situation and I just feel that WVU should be held more accountable in their academic advising,” he added.
IIFC cont. from p. 1 Frey said the IIFC has conducted two meetings so far, which he thinks have been much more useful than WVU’s IFC meetings in previous years. “We’ve had two meetings with the IIFC; of all the [WVU] IFC meetings I went to through the University, these ones have been already 40 times more productive,” he said. “The IFC ones were a joke. We’d just go and eat food and get bitched at by all the like, snobby little kids that think they run the show.” The leadership structure of the IIFC is comprised of seven executive members, each overseeing a committee. The five fraternities have at least one representative on each of the boards, which includes membership, recruitment, community service, etc. The five disassociated fraternities are Kappa Alpha, Sigma Chi, Phi Sigma Kappa, Theta Chi and Alpha Sigma Phi. The IIFC President is Conor Wischmann. He said initially, the council will conduct a series of community service projects and continue working with organizations in Morgantown. “The IIFC wants to cultivate a robust Greek system predicated on safety, equality and community service. In the coming weeks we will participate in a collaborative community service project that will benefit the city of Morgantown,” Wischmann said. “We are also working on organizing a collaborative philanthropy event. We will have specifics regarding both events by next week.” As for future fraternities hitching on, Frey said there is an open invitation, but the process of joining is more national-based and would require the approval of the IIFC. He said that may be the case in the near future.
“I think very soon before the semester is over, we’ll have one or two [fraternities] join us,” he said. Frey declined to name any organizations, but said due to deferred recruitment, one fraternity is weighing joining over not being able to fill rooms in its own house. “They’re actually having financial trouble, the one fraternity, so I think they’re going to join pretty soon,” he said. He added another fraternity is testing the waters but fears its national office may not support their move to disassociate. Neither the fraternities or WVU has pulled any punches since the Reaching the Summit report was issued. Sigma Chi and Kappa Alpha handed their disassociation letters to Richardson in early August, which was followed by Gee penning an 864-word letter to parents warning of the dissident fraternities. In September, Phi Sigma Kappa, Theta Chi and Alpha Sigma Phi broke from the University. Then, WVU hit all five with a decade-long ban. When asked by MetroNews Talkline host Hoppy Kercheval on Sept. 28 what would happen if the fraternities wanted to return to University control, Gee replied “too bad.” Frey said communication between WVU and the fraternities was active up until the ban, with the two sides trying to reach an agreement, but this is no longer the case. “The contact is nonexistent with students to the University,” he said. Frey said the IIFC’s official Twitter account, @wvgreeklife, will provide updates on events and news from the council. He said the IIFC will require its fraternities to still participate in community service, anti-hazing workshops and Title IX training.

Mountaineer Idol contestants go country in fourth elimination round BY SEAN TANSKI STAFF WRITER And then there were four. On Friday night, the remaining six Mountaineer Idol contestants put on a show embracing their countryside, knowing some of them would be eliminated. The fourth elimination round of Mountaineer Idol took place in the Mountainlair where the contestants had to memorize and perform two songs. While the theme was country, the second song each contestant had to sing was a song of their personal liking. Trinity Gray, a freshman vocal performance student, said she was a little intimated by having to memorize two songs but also excited by the prospect of wowing the judges. Gray sang “Temporary Home” by Carrie Underwood as well as “Breakup Song” by Francesca Battistelli. One surprising turn of events was when junior Jamie Devine, a secondary education student, came up on stage. “I have pneumonia, so I took my meds, drink water, and rest,” she said. Despite having pneumonia, Devine put on a show singing “Girl Crush” by Little Big Town in the country round and singing “Valerie” by Amy Winehouse in the second. Both Gray and Devine moved on to the finals with fellow members Taylor Hess and Madeline Samsell. Devine was not originally picked to move on. Judges were only to choose three contestants to move on to the finals; however, the judges surprised the audience and the commentators by saying they would like to save Jaime Devine and advance her to the finals. The eliminated contestants from this round were Kayley Morrow, who sang “House That Built Me” by Miranda Lambert and “Can’t Help Falling in Love With You” by Elvis Presley, and Jake “Tiny Tim” Slewett who sang “Needle in a Haystack,” which is a song he wrote, and “Yeah” by Usher. The final round of Mountaineer Idol will be on Sunday at 3 p.m. One contestant will be named the 15th winner of Mountaineer Idol and will be crowned champion.

Meet the Mr. and Ms. Mountaineer nominees BY RACHEL JOHNSON ASSISTANT CULTURE EDITOR The Baylor and WVU football teams won’t be the only competitors in Milan Puskar Stadium on Thursday night. During halftime of the game, Mr. and Ms. Mountaineer will be named. Mountaineer week coordinator Sonja Wilson described the purpose of the Mr. and Ms. Mountaineer competition as a way “to continue with a long-standing tradition as part of Mountaineer Week and to acknowledge the extracurricular involvement and academic achievements of our students.” Each finalist has his or her reasons for running and ideas of what this experience has meant to them. Andrew Jemiolo, a fouryear member of the Pride’s drumline, said he wanted to be a role model for West Virginia and WVU. “To me, if I won Mr. Mountaineer, then that would mean that all of my efforts in my coursework, extra-curricular activities and work-life have been worthy of recognition over the past years,” he said. Jemiolo said he has already gained what he was looking forward to with running for Mr. Mountaineer. He has also learned how incredible the other people running are. “I do not think there is a bad choice for Mr. nor Ms. Mountaineer,” he said. Praveen Majjigapu, originally from India and a doctoral student in civil engineering, applied to be Mr. Mountaineer after a couple of people insisted on it. Majjigapu said winning this award would be a great honor to him. He credits his success to many of his mentors. “One of my mentors always inspires me by saying, ‘West Virginia, almost heaven. With the right mindset, we have the potential to make it heaven,’” he said. Majjigapu said he is thankful to WVU for the opportunities that it has provided him. “One of the things I am very proud of that I do at West Virginia University is that we invented a new system that can make buildings and bridges stronger,” he said. Alexander Martin said he is competing because he loves this school. “[I have] grown up surrounded by the beauty and culture of West Virginia,” he said. “I have loved representing WVU across the country during my time as a student, and being a part of this competition is another great
“It would be a tremendous honor to represent WVU and the state of West Virginia as Ms. Mountaineer. West Virginia is my home, and being a Mountaineer is a part of my identity that I have kept with me no matter where in the world I have traveled or studied.” -Karen Laska, Ms. Mountaineer nominee opportunity to represent both WVU and the state of West Virginia.” He said he wants to give back to this school because of all the opportunities it has given him. “I hope to gain a platform to talk to as many people as possible, during Mountaineer Week and beyond, about West Virginia and WVU,” he said. Adam Roh, a Morgantown native, said he is competing because he has grown up seeing the candidates in parades and games. “Despite being from Morgantown, I have never been on Mountaineer field before, so I am very excited for that,” he said. Roh is proud to be a part of a competition that has such historic ties to Mountaineer week. Roh said all of his competitors are very well qualified. Roh said he has gained a greater appreciation of Mountaineer Week. Stephen Scott said he is competing because he believes he has held the ideals of a true Mountaineer during his time at WVU. This is his second time applying and he hopes that he has shown a record of academic achievement and extracurricular involvement. Mia Antinone said winning would mean the world to her. “I am competing for Ms. Mountaineer because I have so much pride and excitement for my University,” she said. “In the past four years, I feel that I have represented WVU well inside and outside the classroom. I have had the opportunity to grow as a student, daughter, friend and Mountaineer. I would love to carry a title that ties me to WVU for the rest of my life.” Antinone remembers standing in the student section and thinking of how exciting it would be to have her parent escort on the field as Ms. Mountaineer. Morgan Goff said she was proud to be a part of a long-standing WVU tradition. “Just being named a finalist among all of these great women is an honor in itself,” she said.
Goff said she has always cherished being a Mountaineer and that this honor would be a great way for her to end her time as a student. “I hope that myself and the other finalists are able to show the diverse range of experiences you can have at WVU,” she said. Emma Harrison, another Morgantown native, said she hopes to use the Ms. Mountaineer competition to bring awareness to what she does. “Putting my work on a platform is always good.” Harrison said, “I applied because it’s kind of like an ambassadorial position.” Harrison said the Ms. Mountaineer competition was good interview and application practice. She said winning would be cool because it would show that she has made a difference on this campus. Karen Laska said she has had an incredible college experience at WVU. She was nominated by the ASPIRE office, which helps students apply for scholarships and graduate and professional school. She credits the office to helping her achieve her goals at WVU. “It would be a tremendous honor to represent WVU and the state of West Virginia as Ms. Mountaineer. West Virginia is my home, and being a Mountaineer is a part of my identity that I have kept with me no matter where in the world I have traveled or studied,” she said. Laska said she has gained many new friends through this experience. Virginia Thrasher, an air rifle Olympic gold medalist, said she thinks being Ms. Mountaineer would be a great opportunity. “I think that it’s a really prestigious award because it’s based on an interview with faculty and other people involved in WVU,” Thrasher said. She also said the application process was great experience, especially considering that she is up for a Rhodes Scholarship.

OPINION
Will Holgorsen resume offensive play-calling? SUBMITTED BY TIMOTHY AMYOT MORGANTOWN NATIVE I’d rather not be critical of the Mountaineers. WVU is my team. Morgantown is my hometown. I like Dana, like the kids he recruits and loves being part of Mountaineer Nation. But since last season, what started as concerns with the new offense has risen to glaring issues causing underachieving results for a team talented enough to contend for a conference championship. Normally, a loss like the one WVU suffered to Iowa State could be rationalized as an anomaly or bad day — the ‘Eers were playing a team that could truly test them, on the road, at night, against a coach who has a winning record against ranked teams. All the while, no side of the ball for WVU played particularly sharp. However, this loss should not be chalked up as a bad day or anomaly. It is the result of offensive inadequacies that have surfaced since Spavital took charge of the offense last year. Holgorsen has seemingly been just a coordinator away from being a real conference contender. Of course, since he hires the coordinators, there is no sympathy for him, but it leaves Mountaineer
Nation too often wondering what could have been. Looking back at Holgorsen’s tenure with WVU, the 2012-2015 seasons were largely marred by Joe DeForest’s ineptitude as defensive coordinator and then special teams coordinator. Fortunately, he was no longer with the Mountaineers by 2016. In 2016, we saw WVU seemingly turn the corner as Holgorsen built a balanced offensive attack behind a punishing, ball control running game that forced defenses to load the box, freeing up the explosive and deep strike. That team went 10-3 and won its bowl game. Expectations and fandom were high for 2017 as the team was poised to take its grinding yet explosive offense to the next level with much-heralded Will Grier taking over the quarterback spot from the spirited but less talented Skyler Howard. Oddly, the best offense Holgorsen had just built only lasted that one season. Notably, Holgorsen stepped down as offensive coordinator/play-caller in 2016 to better focus on coaching the whole team. This move may have cost him his chance at a conference championship. Holgorsen hired his friend and fellow air raid enthusiast Jake Spavital, who had

Spavital is certainly a dynamic offensive mind, however, that dynamism comes with a cost, typically in the form of wins, or at least, big game wins. The offense is more sizzle than steak as the stats and entertainment simply do not result in wins against conference contenders. With them
instead comes a one-dimensional, predictable offense that fails to make in-game adjustments. It is an offense overly reliant on the passing game, unable and seemingly unwilling to establish the run, too often telegraphing run plays by use of heavy sets and a zone read that will likely never be a quarterback keep with Will Grier (we do not want
Where does my water come from? SUBMITTED BY JUSTIN EARLE FOREST HYDROLOGY 444 STUDENT AT WVU Water is the most important commodity on Earth. Seventy-one percent of Earth is water, 2.5 percent of that is freshwater and less than 0.1 percent of that is usable surface water. That goes to show you how scarce water really is. A person can only survive for three days without water, whereas you can survive for three weeks without food. With water being so scarce, people should care more about how their water is treated. West Virginia is known for not caring about their water quality. Many of West Virginia’s streams are impaired. Our waters are already impaired and the infrastructure that
is used to move our water to and from residences is out of date. Most of our pipes were installed about 30 years ago and were only designed to last for 25, and there are an estimated 1.2 million miles of water lines in the United States of this age. Many cities in the U.S. have deteriorating infrastructure, from pipes to water treatment plants. The older infrastructure can bring many problems with it, including unwanted chemicals or allowing unwanted chemicals to enter the drinking water of cities. The more impaired streams are, the more money we have to pump in this infrastructure updates. So if it’s possible to help improve water quality before it advances through a water treatment plant, this would be ideal. An example of this is what New York City did to help with the cost of improving their water quality, which was to buy
As a citizen of West Virginia, you are entitled to know what your water contains, where it comes from and how it gets from the source point to your tap. land that was wetland to help filter their water, which saved them millions of dollars. The average person doesn’t know much about how or where their water comes from before it gets to their faucets. People should be informed about this precious commodity, whether it be from their local governing officials or their local supplier. With water being important to everyday life, the average person should be concerned enough to the point of asking the question, how well is my water handled? What processes are used to make
my water drinkable? As a citizen of West Virginia, you are entitled to know what your water contains, where it comes from and how it gets from the source point to your tap. Clean drinking water should not be an issue in the U.S., and we should really consider politicians who make this one of their top priorities. The citizens of this great state have one of the most prolific water sources of the country, and it is being squandered by pollution, aging infrastructure and political fallacies.
an injury to repeat like Texas last year). Moreover, it is an offense that: 1) Passes up the certain short completion for the deep ball by swinging for “home runs” every pass attempt rather than hitting “singles” that sustain a drive, often resulting in three-andouts and sacks from holding the ball too long. 2) Fails to maintain a drive
long enough to control the clock, give the defense a rest and switch field position. 3) Cannot run the ball, especially when he needs to. Sound familiar? It should, because it was Holgorsen’s offense until he learned that a balanced offense capable of explosive and deep strikes down the field is superior to a video game offense. Essentially, history is repeating itself as Spavital employs Holgorsen’s early flawed approach. The loss to Iowa State was a costly one, but not surprising given the way the Mountaineer offense looked in its two games preceding their match with the Cyclones. Who would have thought it would be the defense playing more complete football than the offense? Though these issues have been around for more than a season, the current season is not lost. However, with a tough Baylor team up next and a daunting November ahead, WVU is approaching panic mode and needs to reassess its offensive approach. Oddly enough, the best solution seems like the simplest — get balance, run the ball, revisit what made the 2016 team so successful. In other words, Holgorsen should get back to play-calling so his early history with WVU doesn’t repeat itself.

WVU football doesn’t win or lose the bye week The Sooners’ win puts them back in the Playoff conversation with Ohio State’s loss and ties WVU for second in the Big 12 with a 3-1 conference record. OU moved up to No. 8 in the AP Poll.
BY JOHN LOWE SPORTS EDITOR
FOOTBALL For the second week of the season, the WVU football team found themselves sitting at home over the weekend. The Mountaineers remained at No. 13 in the AP Poll after not playing this weekend, but there were plenty of other games in the Big 12 and beyond that affected the team moving forward. No. 9 Oklahoma 52, TCU 27
While the Horned Frogs made it interesting in the second quarter, they were no match for Kyler Murray and the Sooners. Murray got most of his yardage through the air, completing 19 of 24 of his passes for 213 yards (nearly half of which went to CeeDee Lamb) and four touchdowns. He also accounted for 51 yards on the ground. OU’s running attack also dominated in Fort Worth,

touchdown on 18 carries. Trey Sermon also added two touchdowns and 110 yards.
Texas Tech 48, Kansas 16 There was really no surprise in Lubbock as the Red Raiders throttled the Jayhawks to join Oklahoma and West Virginia at a tie for second in the Big 12. Alan Bowman reassumed the starting role at quarterback for Texas Tech and went off, completing 36 of 46 for 408 yards and three touchdowns and an interception. One of Bowman’s main targets, Antoine Wesley, had a pretty big day himself with nine receptions for 155 yards and a touchdown. The Red Raiders could be the key to chaos in the race to Dallas, tying WVU and Oklahoma with only one loss. Texas Tech is the only team among those three that don’t control their own destiny to ensure a trip to the Big 12 ti-
tle game (due to their 42-34 loss to WVU), but should the Mountaineers slip up again and Tech beats the Sooners on Nov. 3, they put themselves back in the conversation for a conference title and a New Year’s Six bowl bid. Across the country While most of the games around the country didn’t necessarily affect West Virginia directly, it gives the Mountaineers a little bit more of a path to a possible at-large New Year’s Six bowl bid. No. 12 Oregon, No. 16 NC State, No. 22 Mississippi State and No. 24 Michigan State all took losses on Saturday, with the latter two dropping out of the AP Poll entirely. Oregon’s loss at Washington State was devastating for the Ducks, as they no longer control their own destiny for a berth in the Pac-12 title and still have a road trip at red-hot Utah left on their schedule. While NC State could still claw their way back into a serious bowl with only one loss, the team still has Syracuse and Florida State left on their
schedule. West Virginia would likely have to win out in the regular season (securing a Big 12 title game berth in the process) at the very least to secure a bid to the Sugar, Peach or Fiesta Bowls. Also, No. 4 LSU, No. 5 Michigan, No. 7 Georgia, No. 9 Florida, No. 11 Ohio State and No. 12 Kentucky all remain very much in the New Year’s Six bowl contention. Big 12 Standings through Week 8: 1. No. 6 Texas (4-0) 2. No. 13 West Virginia (3-1, 1-0 against OU, TTU) 3. No. 8 Oklahoma (3-1, 0-0 against WVU, TTU) 4. Texas Tech (3-1, 0-1 against WVU, OU) 5. Baylor (2-2) 5. Iowa State (2-2) (Baylor and Iowa State play each other on Nov. 10) 7. Kansas State (1-3, 1-0 against TCU, OSU) 8. TCU (1-3, 0-0 against KSU, OSU) 9. Oklahoma State (1-3, 0-1 against KSU, TCU) 10.

Huggins: NBA G League alternative won’t have much impact on college hoops BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS WRITER
MEN’S BASKETBALL Little concern emanates from West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins regarding the new alternative to the NCAA’s one-and-done rule. Thursday, the NBA G League announced it is creating a new venture starting in the summer of 2019 for some of the top basketball prospects. Instead of having to go play college basketball for a year, elite prospects can now play one season in the NBA G League on a “select contract” worth $125,000, which is only available to those 18 years or older that are not yet eligible for the NBA Draft. But this should mainly affect those that heavily recruit one-and-done players, not Huggins and West Virginia or most of the other schools across the college basketball landscape that typically focus on more four-year guys. “It could hurt Kentucky,” Huggins said. “It could hurt Kentucky and Duke.” Huggins is right. It will mainly have an impact on Duke and Kentucky, only if some of those prospects are giving this opportunity and choose to take advantage of it. Only 18 of the 60 picks in the 2018 NBA Draft were oneand-done players. Of those 18,
seven came from Duke and Kentucky — four hailed from Kentucky and the other three played their lone college season at Duke. “The majority of us don’t do that anyway,” Huggins said. “I’ve had a few one-and-done’s during however many years I’ve been doing this.” Duke and Kentucky recruit those high-caliber athletes every single year. That is the way they operate. The top two recruiting classes in 2018 were Duke at No. 1 and Kentucky at No. 2. Each of the top three players in the ESPN 100 pledged to Duke, whose entire five-man class featured four five-star prospects and one four-star prospect, with the lowest rated player coming in at No. 41 in the ESPN 100. At Kentucky, four of the five individuals in its class were tabbed as fivestar recruits, while the other was a four-star and rated No. 30 in the ESPN 100. How many of those would have ended up becoming part of the new G League venture? Probably some, but not all. This will not be a new trend anyway, at least not in Huggins’ mind. “Elite prospects” are mainly those five-star players. Those are typically the players that can go straight to the professional landscape and make some sort of impact right away. Besides, there are not many five-star recruits anyway, as
there were 26 in 2018 according to ESPN and there are also 26 in 2019. “I’m OK as long as they’re going to go where they say they’re going to go,” Huggins said. “As long as they’re mature enough to handle it, I’m fine. Does it affect the majority of college basketball? Absolutely not.” This is the best solution that could replace the oneand-done rule at the moment. The age limit to be eligible for the NBA Draft is 19 years old, which is not expected to be dropped to 18 until 2022. Plus, for those who are 18 and could be eligible for the NBA Draft, how many are ready to make the leap from high school to the NBA? There are only so many Kobe Bryant’s, Kevin Garnett’s and LeBron James’s. Maybe some would have been ready right away, like Boston Celtics second-year forward Jayson Tatum (who played at Duke for a year before being the No. 3 pick in 2017) or Sacramento Kings rookie forward Marvin Bagley Jr. (who, like Tatum, also played a year at Duke before being the No. 2 pick in 2018). “The NBA can’t make a change right now because of bylaws to let guys come out of high school, so this is the next best thing,” Huggins said. “There was a big movement that guys should be allowed to come out of high school and go

Bob Huggins addressing the crowd during the Blue and Gold game. right to the NBA if they could. If you look at the numbers, though, you look at the people from the schools that have had enough one-and-done’s to really have that decent sample, there’s a whole bunch of guys that don’t make it now.” Not everyone will likely take advantage of this if they can. It all depends on what a player wants and/or needs. First: the G League does not offer some of the benefits the NCAA does. It does not offer those charter flights. Instead, it is commercial flights through the middle of nowhere and
long bus rides. Second: there is much less exposure. You are playing in small gyms that aren’t full and there is very little television coverage. Only 41 G League games were televised on ESPN and NBA TV last season. There are nationally televised college basketball games almost every day of the week, including all day Saturday. That is much more than 41 for the season and much more than 41 for an entire week. But money could be a big concern for some. You can’t benefit off your likeness in
the NCAA. You can’t hire an agent. You can’t sign endorsement deals. You can do all of that as a professional player in the NBA G League, where you are also on a “select contract” that pays you $125,000. “We can sit here and argue is that good for them or should they have to stay in school? I don’t know,” Huggins said. “It depends on the individual. Some of them it’s good for, some of them it’s not. But that’s life, right?”

Mountaineers thriving in last ten games BY COLE MCCALANAHAN SPORTS WRITER
MEN’S SOCCER After beginning the season 2-3 and being shut out in three of their first five matches, the West Virginia men’s soccer team has now scored two goals or more in eight of their last 10 matches. They won each of the eight, and this stretch of high-scoring games has also seen the Mountaineers have two threegame win streaks. West Virginia (10-5, 3-0 MAC) has won every match this season where they have scored at least two goals, but four of their five losses have been shutouts. Three of the shutouts were early in the season when WVU struggled to find scoring opportunities, including a 1-0 loss to UCF where West Virginia was outshot 18-5. “I think we easily could’ve been 4-1 after our first five games,” WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc said. “We

Joey Piatczyc kicking the ball down the field to teammate. didn’t score. We got shut out a couple times. I think what’s changed is that we’ve found some different ways to score.”
WVU finally did find ways to score and they rebounded from their 2-3 start with a three-goal performance
against St. Francis, and once they found ways to score, they didn’t stop. The Mountaineers have
two five-goal games this season and have only been shutout one time in the last 10 matches. The change for West Virginia to score more goals, though, has come differently than it does for many other teams. Most other teams at this point in the season have a clear leader in goals, but going into their match Saturday night against SIU Edwardsville, WVU had three players tied for the team lead in goals, but only at four apiece. “We don’t have a nine or a seven-goal scorer like SIUE has in their front-runners,” LeBlanc. “Kellogg’s got four, Pascala’s got four, Piatczyc’s got four, we’ve got another guy with three. I think we’ve learned to be a little more goals-by-committee.” Going into the end of the season, West Virginia will need to continue their hot streak in goal-scoring, and especially in their final three regular season games as they are still looking to clinch the top seed in the MAC
Tournament. The Mountaineers currently lead the MAC with nine points and a 3-0 conference record, and WVU winning the regular season championship would give them home-field advantage for the tournament. A win over Bowling Green on Friday will secure the regular season championship for the Mountaineers and the right to host the MAC Tournament. “It’s crunch time. The games only get harder from here on out, and that’s not to say anything disparaging about any of our previous opponents, but the stakes get higher every game you move on in the season,” LeBlanc said. West Virginia’s next match is the Backyard Brawl against Pittsburgh and the Mountaineers’ final non-conference match of the season. Kickoff between WVU and Pittsburgh is set for Tuesday at 7 p.m.
WVU women’s soccer steamrolls Oklahoma in 4-1 win BY JARED SERRE SPORTS WRITER
WOMEN’S SOCCER The WVU women’s soccer team continues to roll through the rest of the Big 12 Conference as they defeated the Oklahoma Sooners on Sunday afternoon, 4-1. “This team, as a whole— to do what we did today after a short turnaround against a really good team makes me very proud,” WVU head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said following the game. “This shows how badly they wanted the win and to get the result.” The scoring started off early as senior defender Bianca St. Georges was able to find the back of the net just under three minutes from the opening kickoff. The goal was the second fastest for the Mountaineers (11-3-3, 7-1 Big 12) of the season. After the first score, senior forward Hannah Abraham was able to add an insurance goal in the 19th minute, which was soon followed up by a second Abraham score in the 28th minute. West Virginia went into halftime with a 3-0 lead. With time on their side, the Sooners (8-7-2, 3-3-1) entered the pitch with an in-

The momentum shift was short-lived, however, as the Mountaineers were able to counter with a second score from St. Georges, this time coming off of a penalty kick in the 61st minute. Despite having a full half to attempt to mend the deficit, Oklahoma was unable to do
so. After St. Georges’ penalty kick goal, neither team was able to find the net again. “It’s incredible how hard they worked to create those chances, and then to get those finishes from our seniors—I can’t speak enough about our senior leadership,” Izzo-Brown said about St. Georges and Abraham. “Hard work pays off — that’s their ingredient to success. No one works harder, and they both work their tailfeathers off. I’m
proud that they’re awarded for their hard work.” Setting up the goals for the Mountaineers were senior forward Sh’Nia Gordon, freshman forward Jordan Brewster and sophomore forward Lauren Segalla, who each finished the match with an assist. After today’s match, the WVU defensive unit has only allowed four goals over the eight Big 12 Conference matchups they have had thus

RIFLE One day after defeating the No. 6 Murray State Racers and No. 10 Ohio State Buckeyes, the No. 3 WVU rifle team continued their hot start to the season with victories against No. 2 Air Force and No. 9 Nebraska. Continuing the first-ever series of matches in the WVU Coliseum, they shot a season-high 4712 on route to today’s victory, while the Falcons came in second with a 4686 total. The Cornhuskers finished in third place with a 4660 total. The match opened up with smallbore competition in which West Virginia racked up a score of 2345, which was good enough for first place. The Falcons finished in second place with a score of 2322. The Cornhuskers came in third place with a 2302 finish.
