Daxter Miles is headed to West Virginia.
The point guard out of Baltimore (Md.) Dunbar chose the Mountaineers over Xavier, Seton Hall, Villanova, Miami (FL), Providence, Oklahoma State and Kansas State. Depending on test scores, he will be available to start off the fall right away. He next takes the standardized test June 8.
Miles, a Baltimore native, said that his relationship with the coaching staff was key to him choosing West Virginia.
“My relationship with Coach [Bob] Huggins and the assistant coaches was very good,” Miles told SNY.tv. “I had discussions with my family, and I felt like this would be the best fit for me on and off of the court.”
An explosive and ultra-quick point guard at 6-foot-2, 190-pounds, Miles played with Baltimore Elite during his stint in AAU, and should make an immediate impact for the Mountaineers.
Miles joins forwards Nathan Adrian, Elijah Macon, Devin Williams, Jonathan Holton, Remi Dibo and Brandon Watkins in the West Virginia’s 2013 class.
“It’s going to be great,” Miles said. “It’s really going to be a nice combo.”
