It’s been a tough two years for Plano West girls basketball alum Tyara Warren. In what should logically be two of the best back-to-back years in a college athlete’s life, Warren saw her final high school season end abruptly with the Lady Wolves when she tore her ACL in November 2013. Fully recovered and primed to make an instant impact for Mike Carey’s squad at West Virginia the following year, Warren’s freshman season in college was another rough go, as she played in 18 games (no starts) through February and averaged just 2.4 points per game this past season. Then, news broke that Warren was suspended indefinitely for undisclosed reasons in mid-February. She announced her intention to transfer at the end of the semester, ending her brief tenure in the Big 12. West Virginia’s loss is the University of North Texas’ gain. Warren announced on Twitter in May that she would be joining the Mean Green to resurrect her collegiate career and return closer to where it all began for her. “[UNT head coach Jalie Mitchell] contacted me when she heard I was going to transfer, and we got to talking,” Warren said. “She just seemed really down to earth and honest and that stood out to me – that’s a high characteristic I think everyone should have. I decided to take a chance and take a visit and I like it.” read more: http://starlocalmedia.com/opinion/blogs/blog_3/going-mean-green-warren-excited-about-transfer-to-unt-return/article_9f38ec50-3b96-11e5-9dd3-837b3dade7ec.html

Plano West alum Tyara Warrens time in the Big 12 was short-lived. The former Lady Wolves standout, who spent her freshman season on the hardcourt with West Virginia, announced via Twitter on Thursday that she was transferring to the University of North Texas for her remaining collegiate years. Warren was a bit player during her lone season with the Mountaineers, averaging 2.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 18 games played. She was suspended indefinitely on Feb. 17 for an undisclosed violation of team rules. Warren did not play the rest of the way.

UNT is trying to rebuild its roster in women’s basketball under Jalie Mitchell and will get a chance to add a key piece this weekend when it hosts Tyara Warren, a former Plano standout who was suspended indefinitely last season at West Virginia. The Mean Green have two transfers on the board so far in former Texas forward Nekia Jones and New Mexico JC guard Kelsey Criner.
