MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Seeking frontline help as Brandon Watkins recovers from knee surgery, West Virginia added Marshall graduate transfer TyQuane Goard.
WVU announced Friday that the NCAA approved the Charleston native’s transfer waiver, making him eligible to play his final season in Morgantown.
Marshall coach Dan D’Antoni dismissed Goard citing a violation of team rules before last season, and in June reportedly blocked the 6-foot-7 forward’s transfer to West Virginia.
In a statement accompanying Friday’s release, West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said Goard was enrolled and would accompany the Mountaineers on next month’s three-game exhibition trip to the Bahamas.
