Jasper officially portals to WVU

[Ross Hodgeson]

Sad day!  Was hoping he would stay with us.

I really don't see him as a starter at that level. He can probably be a good role player and knows the system.

to be clear, this is not my diminishing a player only after he leaves...I hate that shit...but agreed. I definitely think he could fill 15-ish minutes a night on a winning Big 12 team, but I don't think his handle is tight enough to be a primary ballhandler a level up. 

gotta figure WVU fans are sounding a lot like us when a new CSU player signs here

He will start there and be very good for them. 

[NorthTexasWeLove]

I think he'll log 20m/game and go 8/2/2, which is efficient and a nice energy guy with mid handles coming off the bench.

I’ll root for them more now.

Ross doing Ross-things.   

Bringing in guys who have bought in, before trying to find 8 bench warmers for next season.

Floyd was likely the best defensive guard in the American last season. He was our best ball handler and had more assists than any player at UNT in the last five seasons (impressive when you look at our run of guards).

Floyd can attack the basket to score in the paint. He’s also an average-ish 3 pt shooter.
His only real weakness is a lack of a mid-range game, but that really isn’t important in basketball anymore. 
Most importantly, Floyd is a winner. In his college career, he has won a JUCO national title, made it to the CBI title game and the NIT semifinals. 
Some day the college basketball system might change and we will be able to retain a player like this. That day is not today. He’s probably making 10x what we can pay him at WV. I can’t even be mad at that.

His schedule will be getting just a little tougher...

And it did for Mac, as well.  Ross is going to win big, as well.  Maybe not quite as much as Mac, with Tech throwing more money at basketball than most schools, but he's still going to win a lot.  UNT had 2 of the best coaches in America leading us for the past 8 years.  Don't kid yourself.

Just saw that Massie is in the portal. How in the heck does he have any eligibility left? He will probably end up at WV.
