Bob Huggins is putting his Morgantown home on the market.
Former West Virginia forward John Flowers, whose wife works in real estate, let fans know over the weekend that Huggins had listed the house. The property is a five-bedroom, seven-bath home that measures 8,818 square feet and carries a price tag of $2,195,000.
Huggins has been away from Hope Coliseum for a few years now, but his connection to West Virginia still runs deep. The source of that bond goes back to his childhood, when he talked about listening to Mountaineer games on the radio while sitting in his grandfather’s lap and falling in love with the program early.
That love turned into a long run at the school. Huggins played at West Virginia, then served as the program’s steward from 2007-23. Along the way, he guided the Mountaineers back to the Final Four for the first time since Jerry West and Co. and helped deliver the Big East championship in 2010.
For a coach who gave so much to the state, the resume speaks loudly. During his 16 years at the helm, he became one of the most beloved figures in Mountaineer circles, building success while also giving back to the community. Even after his resignation, he has stayed connected to the program and continued his annual Fish Fry to raise money for cancer care.
Because of how things ended, he still hasn’t had that public moment of recognition from the university. But the case for it is plain in the source material: he is a Mountaineer through and through, and the acknowledgment still feels overdue.

Former WVU Corner's NFL Climb Just Got Fans' Attention
NFL rosters always create a few feel-good footnotes, and Michael Coats Jr. gave West Virginia fans one to track when the Cleveland Browns settled their 53-man roster for opening day. The former Mountaineer cornerback earned his spot after a solid preseason, turning enough heads to survive the final cuts and keep his NFL climb moving into September.
Coats is not walking into a starting job, with Cleveland already set at cornerback, but there is still a clear path to contribute. His value should come first as depth in the secondary and on special teams, the kind of role that can quietly turn a roster spot into something more if a young defender keeps finding ways onto the field.

WVUs First Depth Chart Will Reveal How Settled This Roster Really Is
The first depth chart of the Rich Rodriguez era at West Virginia should say plenty about how quickly this roster has settled into place, and how much competition is still left to sort out. There are a few spots that feel fairly easy to read at this point, with running back, linebacker, cornerback and kicker among the positions likely to draw the most attention when the two-deep is finally released for game week.
Even with some projected starters and key contributors already seeming to separate themselves, the real intrigue is whether the staff uses a clean pecking order or leans on a few OR designations to keep battles alive. For a roster still being evaluated under a new coach, the depth chart will be less about ceremony and more about telling the first real story of who has earned trust, who is still pushing, and where West Virginia still has questions to answer.

Vegas Just Sent A Clear Message About West Virginias Season Opener
Rich Rodriguez is heading into his second year of his second stint at West Virginia with a season opener that already has oddsmakers taking a strong position on what the Mountaineers should look like in 2026. The matchup with Coastal Carolina comes with a sizable spread and a game total that suggests Vegas expects West Virginia to do more than simply survive Week 1, especially after last seasons uneven ride.
West Virginias record a year ago was hard to love, but it was not hard to bet on, at least in the right spots. The Mountaineers were often more competitive than their final mark suggested, and that history makes the opener a little more interesting than a simple early-season tuneup. The real question now is whether this is just an aggressive number for a home favorite, or the first hint that Rodriguezs second act is starting to look a lot more settled. [Read more 🡒]
