Last week, on Tuesday, the West Virginia Mountaineers were dealt a knee-quivering blow when sophomore defensive lineman Akheem Mesidor announced very abruptly that he was entering the transfer portal, after attending practices and workouts and film sessions. The fallout, from Neal Brown talking to reporters on Thursday, the day his assistant coaches are scheduled, and letting the cat out of the bag.
During the press conference, Brown’s voice wavered as he tries to convince everyone that he doesn’t have a culture problem but he is hurt by the transfer. The real emotion from the head coach stirred fans.
