Rich Rodriguez says West Virginia isn't adding players now, but could

West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez said the team is not adding any players right now despite court rulings potentially granting 2022 recruits a fifth year of eligibility, but he acknowledged that could change quickly. Rodriguez cited the NCAA’s appeal and resulting uncertainty, saying he will not cut current roster members. The Mountaineers have two open spots and are researching eligible players, adding, “24 hours from now, maybe we do.” Cornerback Jordan Scruggs has expressed interest in returning, while Fred Perry’s status is unclear. Coaching staff also has questions about whether potential additions would be in proper football conditioning.
