It only took him two weeks to make his choice: after placing his name in the transfer portal on March 23, Kerr Kriisa announced on Wednesday that he was joining West Virginia for his “senior” season.
” I wanted a fresh start. A place where I didn’t know anyone. I need to get out of my comfort zone » so he said. ” And I really liked the way I was recruited [à West Virginia].”
It goes without saying that it is a very good operation for Bob Huggins, the Hall Of Famer coach of the Mountaineers, who recruits in Kerr Kriisa the best passer in the Pac-12 conference this season with Arizona (5.1 assists). Pure leader, the Estonian will thus bring precious stability to the head of the West Virginia attack, which last season committed almost as many ball losses (428) as it distributed assists (435 )…
Experienced on the university circuit since he has just spent three seasons with the renowned program in Arizona, Kerr Kriisa is also experienced by his career away from the United States. In particular, he took part last September in the Eurobasket with Estonia, a competition during which he faced, among others, Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Lauri Markkanen.
