MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia basketball signee Jermaine Haley wants to correct the recruiting sites that list the guard at 6-foot-7.
“I keep hearing you guys say I’m 6-7, but I’m 6-8, and I’m closer to the 6-9 side,” he said Tuesday night during an appearance on MetroNews “Sportsline” with Tony Caridi.
An inch either way won’t diminish the fact that Haley brings much-needed length to a backcourt featuring sub-6-foot point guards Beetle Bolden, Brandon Knapper and Jordan McCabe. Haley’s signing also provides rotational options for the Mountaineers’ staff next season.
“I’m a pass-first, pass-second point guard,” Haley said.
