Javan Buchanan Commits to WVU Basketball | West Virginia Mountaineers Transfer Portal Update
April 11, 2026·7 min
The episode begins with the host announcing West Virginia's first transfer commitment in the basketball portal season. Javon Buchanan, a forward from Boise State, has committed to WVU after a visit. The host notes Buchanan was on Commitment Watch due to early interest. Buchanan is a 6-7 grad transfer who averaged nearly 13 points and 5 rebounds per game last season. He earned All-Mountain West honorable mention and was Sixth Man of the Year in the conference. A waiver of eligibility is needed, but the host expresses confidence based on past cases like Chance Moore. Buchanan's frame is 6-7, 230 pounds, with skills to play in the post, rebound, protect the rim, and handle the ball like a guard. Game highlights show him attacking off the bounce, scoring, and making a game-winning block against San Jose State. He also demonstrates shooting ability from outside. The host moves Buchanan from the target list to the transfer-in list, marking the first addition this cycle. The episode then shifts to adding a new target: Jason Rivera-Torres, a forward/guard from Monmouth. Rivera-Torres averaged 16 points and 8 rebounds per game, with interest from many programs. The host encourages viewers to check live streams for more target details. The update concludes with a call to subscribe and engage in comments about WVU sports. The host, Jordan Cruz, signs off, promising more coverage as portal season continues.
