MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Fresh off a cross-country flight from the West Coast, Emmitt Matthews scribbled his first autographs as a Mountaineer on Saturday afternoon, volunteering alongside other West Virginia basketball players at a kids camp on campus.
“It’s my first day here, so they don’t know who I am yet,” joked the four-star freshman from Tacoma, Wash. “The kids just know that I’m a player, and to them, that’s what matters.
“It’s been a really good time today because the kids had a great outlook. No down faces, no attitude, no darkness here. Everybody was all light, all positive.
