JUCO TRANSFER

West Virginia men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins has added another transfer player to his roster. Jimmy Bell Jr. has signed with the Mountaineers for the 2022-23 season. The 6-foot-10, 290-pound forward previously started for Saint Louis and then played for Moberly Area Community College in Missouri, the same NJCAA that sent Jaysean Paige to Huggins. Last season at Moberly, Bell averaged 9.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game. He also shot 59.1 percent from the field and made 67.
