North Texas transfer guard Floyd commits to West Virginia
The West Virginia Mountaineers basketball program has added North Texas transfer guard Jasper Floyd.
Floyd, 6-foot-3, 195-pounds, spent last season with the Mean Green playing under now West Virginia head coach Ross Hodge. During that campaign, Floyd averaged 9.0 points, 3.9 assists and 3.0 rebounds while shooting 42-percent from the floor and 34.3-percent from three.
There is an obvious familiarity between the two and Floyd brings experience running the offense as well as understanding what is being asked out of him on the defensive end of the floor.
The Tampa, Florida native played at Fairfield the year prior where he started 35 of 37 games and filled the stat sheet averaging 9.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.3 steals per game.
Prior to that Floyd was at Hillsborough College for a season and averaged 14.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game across 26 starts. He began his career at Northwest Florida State College, where he appeared in 29 games and averaged 2.2 points and 1.5 rebounds per game.
It’s because of that time spent at the junior college level that Floyd has an additional season of eligibility due to the injunction granted to those players that spent time at that level.
Floyd has one season of eligibility remaining.
Floyd is the latest addition this off-season for the Mountaineers basketball program joining fellow North Texas product forward Brenen Lorient, Chattanooga guard Honor Huff, UNC Wilmington center Harlan Obioha and Troy forward Jackson Fields as transfer commitments for the program.
WVSports.com will have more with Floyd in the near future.

West Virginia Mountain Bike Association holds Race to Lil Moe’s in Philippi
PHILIPPI, W.Va (WDTV) – The West Virginia Mountain Bike Association kicked off its cross country series Sunday with the Race to Lil Moe’s in Philippi.
The event had options for all skill levels. Bikers had the choice to race 6 miles, 14 miles, or 19 miles.
Each race had a mix of straight track biking, and twisting and climbing through the woods. Bikers of all ages could participate, and each age group had its own race and results.
“I really do think that trails build community, and if you can get outdoor activity where people can come out and hike and bike,” said George Finly, a mountain biker and trail volunteer. “This is as much as a hiking trail as it is a biking trail. It’s right along the river, which is beautiful. Eagles were flying back and forth yesterday, and today is great because we’ve got a lot of kids out here.”
The next WVMBA cross country mountain bike race will be April 19 in Buckhannon.
