JUST IN: WVU Announces Three-Year Double Signing as Kyah Watson Continues Roster Rebuild….

 

May 5, 2025 – Morgantown, WV — West Virginia University (WVU) women’s basketball continues to make headlines as head coach Kyah Watson pushes forward with an  roster rebuild. In a major development, WVU announced a pivotal three-year double signing, signaling a new era of commitment to long-term success in the Big 12 Conference.

 

The announcement, released Monday morning, confirmed that two standout players have signed multi-year deals with the Mountaineers, becoming the latest additions under Coach Watson’s tenure. The double signing, both secured through 2028, is being lauded as a strategic move that bolsters the team’s depth and positions WVU as a rising contender in the conference.

 

While WVU has not yet publicly disclosed the names of the incoming players, sources close to the program indicate that the signees are a versatile guard-forward combo from the Midwest and a highly ranked international center. Both recruits are expected to bring immediate impact and address critical gaps in WVU’s lineup.

 

“Coach Watson is laying the foundation for something special,” said athletic director Wren Baker. “This double signing is not just about talent — it’s about culture, chemistry, and a vision for sustained success.”

 

Since taking over the program, Kyah Watson has remained committed to reshaping the team with a blend of seasoned transfers and high-potential recruits. The latest signings add to a growing list of new faces that have joined the Mountaineers since the end of last season, following a number of departures and graduation losses.

 

WVU finished last season with a promising run but ultimately fell short in the NCAA Tournament’s second round. That experience, however, seems to have fueled Watson’s resolve to build a more resilient and well-rounded roster heading into the 2025–26 season.

 

“Our goal is to compete at the highest level, and that starts with bringing in the right people,” Watson said in a statement. “We’re not just recruiting athletes — we’re building a family, and these two signings reflect that philosophy.”

 

Fans have taken to social media to express their excitement, praising Watson for her clear vision and strong recruiting instincts. Former players and analysts have also applauded the move, noting that the stability of a three-year commitment is rare and speaks volumes about both the program’s direction and the confidence of the players coming in.

 

With offseason workouts set to begin next month, all eyes will be on how Watson integrates the new additions into her system. The coaching staff is expected to prioritize chemistry, defensive intensity, and a fast-paced offensive style that has quickly become a trademark of Watson-led squads.

 

As anticipation builds, one thing is certain: the West Virginia Mountaineers are not standing still. With Kyah Watson at the helm and a new core forming, the team is poised to make noise not just next season but for years to come.
