1 week ago | dominionpost.com | Justin Jackson

MORGANTOWN — In a perfect world, former WVU point guard Javon Small would be in high demand these days. His toughness, talent, experience and determination that was on display all of last season with the Mountaineers would seemingly make him a perfect candidate for the next level.
