MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia has signed junior college transfer Jimmy Bell Jr. for the 2022-23 season. Coach Bob Huggins announced Bell’s signing Monday. He will have two years of eligibility remaining. The 6-foot-10 Bell averaged more than nine points, nine rebounds and one blocked shot per game last season at Moberly (Missouri) Area Community College. He spent his first two seasons at Saint Louis. A native of Saginaw, Michigan, the 280-pound Bell brings some welcome help to West Virginia’s inside game. The Mountaineers ranked last in the Big 12 in rebounding and scoring defense. Bell will be joined inside by another 6-10 junior college transfer, Mohamed Wague.
