Former Dayton guard Juwan Staten announced that he will transfer to Penn State. As a freshman, Staten averaged 8.5 points and 5.4 assists for the Flyers. He will have to sit out the 2011-12 season.
Staten showed some ability to score down the stretch, but only hit 18.8% of his three-pointers in his first year in college basketball. Penn State will miss Talor Battle, but the fact that Staten should be eligible for the 2012-13 season gives some reason for hope.
