Josh Hollway, who played for Texas A&M in the SEC last season, is down to his final three options in the portal in WVU, USC, and Memphis, and he is set to make the trip to Morgantown for a visit next Wednesday.

Holloway played 13 minutes per game for the Aggies last season, and the 6-foot-1 guard made the most of his time on the floor, ending the season averaging 4.6 points, 1.8 assists, and 1.7 rebounds per game.

The Mountaineers are also set to receive a visit from Class of 2026 high school prospect Aamadou Seini, who played this past season at Bella Vista Prep with West Virginia commits Miles Sadler and Aliou Dioum. He had a breakout performance during the team's run at Chipotle Nationals earlier this month, earning a spot on the all-tournament team.

He set the FIBA U19 World Cup record with 15.3 rebounds per game, breaking a record previously held by Purdue star Zach Edey, and averaged 7.1 points and 6.5 rebounds this past year with Bella Vista Prep.
