The West Virginia Mountaineers and head coach Bob Huggins have been adding transfers lately.
Last month, former LaSalle center Aaric Murray announced he was transferring to the school. Murray was LaSalle’s best player, leading the team in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots.
Huggins on Monday (June 6), Huggins has added another player in former Dayton point guard Juwan Staten.
Staten started 34 games as a freshman for the Flyers last season. He averaged 8.5 points and 5.4 assists in 29 minutes per game. He left Dayton, becuase he didn’t like the slow tempo play of former head coach Brian Gregory, now at Georgia Tech.
Huggins said that Staten has signed a grant-in-aid to attend West Virginia.
Both players will have to sit out the 2011-2012 season due to NCAA transfer rules and will have three years of eligibility remaining.

The University of Dayton Flyers will be losing two players who were key parts of this year’s team and were being counted on for the future.
Head coach Brian Gregory has announced that freshman guards Juwan Staten and Brandon Spearman are transferring from the program.
“We appreciate Juwan and Brandon’s efforts this season and wish them good luck in their academic and athletic futures,” Gregory said.
Staten, a 6-foot point guard, averaged 8.5 points and 5.4 assists in 35 games (34 starts) in 2010-11. The Dayton native, a graduate of Oak Hill Academy, was a member of the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team.
Spearman averaged 2.5 points and 1.2 rebounds in 10.9 minutes of play this year. The 6-foot-3 Chicago Simeon High School graduate played in all 36 games with two starts.
Dayton was 22-14 in 2010-11, and lost to an NCAA Sweet 16 team the Richmond Spiders in the A-10 championship game. UD reached the post-season for the fourth straight year by earning an at-large bid to the NIT.
