How Taz Sherman went from unwanted to landing at West Virginia

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Taz Sherman’s only explanation for his journey through the Texas junior college ranks to West Virginia is that he fell through the cracks.

There may be no better way to describe how a 6-foot-4 high-scoring guard ended up at little Collin College in McKinley, Texas, instead of on a Division I roster.

“Everything happens for a reason,” said Sherman, who scored 25.9 points per game and was the third-leading scorer at junior college Division I last season and had eight games of 35 points or more.

Sherman’s journey to Morgantown is indeed interesting.
