Riley Makalusky gives WVU a versatile, high-efficiency forward with real pop from three
In the 2025-26 season, Riley Makalusky has emerged as a useful two-way connector for West Virginia, pairing 5.3 points per game with 41.3% shooting and 43.8% from three in 20 games, while giving the Mountaineers a 6-foot-2 forward who can stretch the floor and fit multiple roles. She’s not just a spot-up name: West Virginia staff called her a “versatile forward” who can impact the game in multiple ways, and she has already shown spike-game scoring upside, including a 20-point outing against UCF. If a team wants size, shooting, and a steady, team-first fit, she’s a sneaky-good add.
