Deon Barrett is all of 5 feet 10 ... maybe ... on tiptoes. Hardly a résumé stuffer in the rather large world of college basketball.
But the bottom line in any sport is that if you can play, you can play. Forget size. And remember special names from UTEP's years gone by ... names like Nate Archibald and Tim Hardaway and Luster Goodwin and Jeep Jackson and Eddie Rivera and Prince Stewart and Byron Walker and Randy Culpepper and on and on ... all of whom were just a smidge over or under 6 feet tall.
Barrett is lightning quick with a silky smooth jumper and he brings a winning attitude to El Paso.
