Sophomore backup forward Danny Jennings was unhappy about his playing time apparently so he quit the team. During a game.

And on top of that, leading scorer Casey Mitchell was just suspended indefinately by Huggy Bear.

West Virginia is left with 8 scholarship players currently.

Gotta say that if the wheels do indeed come off this team (and they certainly seem to be), I wouldn't be surprised if we lose another player to transfer.

Can you define "wheels coming off"?  Do you just mean if we keep losing?

When one or more key players just quit playing hard. We're nowhere near there yet, but if we continue to lose it will be a distinct possibliity.

For a player to just walk off the court is astonishing. It shows how much the inmates are running the asylum. I never once thought of transferring or walking off, no matter how bad it got. It seems like players today will transfer over anything. They went to the Final Four last year!
