West Virginia women's basketball is preparing for the 2026-27 season with significant roster changes. Junior forward Carter McCray has entered the NCAA transfer portal, leaving the Mountaineers with one year of eligibility. McCray averaged 6.5 points and five rebounds per game during her tenure at WVU.
Her departure follows a season where she started 29 games, playing an average of 21.5 minutes. McCray sought a larger role after her offensive production decreased at WVU. Coach Mark Kellogg is actively recruiting, having added George Mason transfer Zaza Walton, who averaged over 18 points per game last season.
The Mountaineers have also secured commitments from Pitt transfer Divine Tshibuabua and UCF's Khayla Ngodu. This influx of talent, particularly prioritizing size and scoring, suggests WVU is building a competitive team for the upcoming season.
