DDV met with the media for the first time since he was introduced as head coach. His team embarks on their foreign tour to Italy in about a week. Here are some quick notes from his presser with more to come soon:
- Trying to build an identity is the current thing. Wants people to know his squad plays with lots of enthusiasm
- Italy trip will be huge as far as coming together as a group and it also brings extra practice time which is a plus
- On-court terminology and sets are new for everyone including coaches. Says the only one who has a general idea what's going on is Tucker
- He's not concerned about wins or losses on the Italy trip but wants to see how guys respond. Says he will specifically play the younger guys and see how they play
- Yesufu will get back to on court activities around the start of school in August
- Tucker has been fully cleared for contact but still trying to get fully comfortable
- DDV says WVU is still actively recruiting
