Thursday afternoon, the Big 12 Conference and West Virginia revealed some kickoff times for the start of the 2025 season.

A lot of work needs to be done before the Charlotte Hornets can feel like they have a shot to truly compete in the Eastern Conference and not be looking ahead to "next year" by January. Health of the roster is the main ingredient, but adding more quality and reliable bench players is second on that list. Sure, adding a big-time superstar would be nice in all, but at this stage in the rebuild, that's just not feasible.

West Virginia is about to enter the most important recruiting month of the year, aside from the weeks leading up to signing day in December. June is always full of action with recruits visiting campus, trimming their list of interest, and many of them making their decision. One name that Mountaineer fans will want to keep a close eye on is class of 2026 offensive lineman Camden Goforth (6'4", 315 lbs) from McMinn High School in Athens, Tennessee.

1 week ago | si.com | Schuyler Callihan

College football has changed a lot over the years, but it's still interesting to take a peek back at how each head coach did in his first season at West Virginia. We're not going to run through every single coach in program history today, maybe that's something we can do in the future. This time around, we're looking at each coach's first year, dating back to the legendary Don Nehlen.
WVU Football Schedule: Predicting the Kickoff Times for Each Game

1 week ago | si.com | Schuyler Callihan

It's a little too early for me to drop my final game-by-game predictions for the 2025 West Virginia season, but there is something else we can predict with the schedule - kick times. Will WVU get any night games at home? Here are my thoughts for each game, using some past data and comparing WVU's matchup to the others going on around the league/country for that week. West Virginia has a lot of sway with this one since it will be an ESPN+ game.

It's safe to say West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez is casting a wide net on the recruiting trail, one that reaches all the way out to Lake Oswego, Oregon.

Tishendorf made his commitment in early March, one day before receiving the offer from WVU assistant coach Jake Casteel.
