BREAKING: Kerr Kriisa Announces Return to West Virginia

A big "get" for the Mountaineers.

Saturday evening, WVU named Josh Eilert the interim head coach for the 2023-24 season thinking that it would help keep the strong roster together that they have formed through the transfer portal.

One day later and one of the three that entered the portal is coming back. Guard Kerr Kriisa announced on Twitter Sunday that he will remain at West Virginia.

Kriisa led the Pac-12 Conference in assists the last two seasons and was the first player to lead the league in consecutive seasons since 2001 (Brandon Granville, USC), averaging 4.9 assists the last two seasons while averaging 9.8 points per game.

 The 6-foot-3, 190-pound guard from Tartu, Estonia ranks 10th in Wildcat history with 177 career 3-point field goals made and fifth in Arizona history with 503 career 3-point field goal attempts. He is one of five players in Pac-12 history to record multiple triple-doubles in a career.
