And another guard joins the basketball team
May 20, 2014 by Mike CasazzaWell-traveled Jaysean Paige, who was on campus yesterday, signed a grant in aid with WVU today. It’s not a letter of intent because Paige originally signed with Southern Miss and a player can only sign one NLI in his/her career, in case you were curious. But he was released from he NLI at Southern Miss after Donnie Tyndall took the Tennessee job — and he picked the Golden Eagles at first over Marshall and Middle Tennessee State.
Like Tarik Phillip, Paige comes from a junior college. And like Phillip and incoming freshmen Dax Miles and Jevon Carter, Paige is a guard. That said, Jon Holton and Elijah Macon are essentially recruits who happen to have been here for a year. It’s more balanced than it looks.
Also, there’s a quote from Bob Huggins in the press release that says Paige will pressure the rim. That’s his thing. I know he’s got nice 3-point numbers, but some people who know of him say he likes to go at the basket because that he can really jump.
