Ross Hodge made it clear that the transition to West Virginia would essentially be business as usual for him when it came to putting together the roster.
It’s been hard to argue with the results to date.
Hodge had become accustomed to rebuilding rosters during his time atop the North Texas basketball program after replacing seven players, including the top three leading scorers, prior to his first year and then replacing nine more players ahead of his second season, including his top six scorers.
That, along with his experience leading two different junior college programs, had prepared him for what he was set to inherit in Morgantown with a basketball roster that almost completely turned over once former head coach Darian DeVries elected to exit the program.
