## Resource

Call it Christmas in August. Ho, ho, ho. West Virginia’s men’s basketball roster unwrapped a very special gift Wednesday when Brenen Lorient announced he'll return to the Mountaineers for another season. The unexpected development follows the NCAA’s recent decision to grant athletes five years of eligibility. Although the matter still awaits final resolution in court, Lorient and other players appear to be moving closer to receiving an additional season. In this episode, the "Guys" are joined by WVU basketball coach Ross Hodge who explains Lorient’s situation and what his return would mean for the Mountaineers’ roster. The crew also provides the latest from preseason football camp following Rich Rodriguez’s press conference after West Virginia’s seventh practice. Listener questions and comments complete the episode with another edition of Textual Healing.
