Veteran Scoring Guard Don McHenry Contacted by West Virginia in Transfer Portal
West Virginia’s basketball program is actively seeking backcourt reinforcements, and veteran scoring guard Don McHenry has emerged as a potential target. According to sources, the Mountaineers have reached out to the Milwaukee transfer, who entered the portal after a standout 2023-24 season.
McHenry’s Background
The 6’1″ guard was a key offensive weapon for Milwaukee, averaging 15.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game while shooting 41.3% from the field and 34.5% from three. McHenry, who began his career at Indian Hills Community College before transferring to Milwaukee, developed into one of the Horizon League’s most dynamic scorers, capable of creating his own shot and stretching defenses with his perimeter shooting.
Why West Virginia is Interested
With the departure of leading scorer Kerr Kriisa and the need for experienced backcourt production, McHenry would provide an immediate scoring punch for first-year head coach Darian DeVries. His ability to play both on and off the ball makes him a valuable fit in WVU’s system, and his experience (one year of remaining eligibility) aligns with the team’s desire for seasoned contributors.
Competition in the Portal
McHenry is expected to draw significant interest from multiple high-major programs, but West Virginia’s aggressive approach in the portal—along with DeVries’ offensive-minded coaching—could give the Mountaineers an edge.
Stay tuned for updates as McHenry evaluates his options in the coming weeks.
