30 days, 30 legends: Nos. 10-6
July 25, 2026
We are almost through July, which means we are nearly finished releasing our list of the top 30 WVU Football players of all time. If you have been following along on social media, you are in the loop and have hopefully weighed in. If not, here are the next five players on the list: No. 10: Bruce Bosley, No. 9: Marc Bulger, No. 8: Chuck Howley, No. 7: Geno Smith, No. 6: Steve Slaton. Not everyone agrees, but that is the point. Stay tuned in and follow along, and I will recap the list as we go, with a full recap at the conclusion....
WVU Football is set to celebrate Homecoming when the Cincinnati Bearcats come to town. The Mountaineers and Bearcats share a past as former Big East foes, and now share league once again in the Big 12. With history dating back more than a century as well, there are plenty of talking points regarding the Week 7 matchup.
WVU Men's Basketball may not have the strongest alumni base in the NBA. Sure, there are current players like Miles McBride and Jevon Carter who excel in their roles. There is also one of the NBA greats, Jerry West, who proudly represented the Mountaineers at the NBA level. Beyond that, though, there have not been that many WVU alumni who have carved successful careers on the NBA court. However, former Mountaineer forward Mike Gansey is quickly representing the school beyond the court. As the current President of Basketball Operations for the Philadelphia 76ers, Gansey has immediately turned the team into championship contenders in his first offseason with the team.
