MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — It’s not the look of confidence that flows right out of Emmitt Matthews Jr. that is noticed first.
It’s not the new muscular physique.
The first thing that strikes you is for those who have had to look up to Matthews in the past, they have to look up a little more these days.
“Yeah, I’ve grown just a little bit,” the West Virginia sophomore forward said. “I’ve gotten a little taller.”
Listed at 6-foot-7 and 195 pounds as a freshman, when Matthews admits he went through a long process just to figure out his niche with the Mountaineers, he looks to be pushing more toward 6-9 now and his build is a solid 200-plus.
