There were a number of UTEP basketball players who left under Tim Floyd’s program. Since we are at the conclusion of another season and approaching the end of a lot these guys college careers, I tried to do some research to see what happened to some of these guys. Here is a summary:

- Josh Mcswiggins. Went from UTEP to Junior College, then to Portland. As a Sophomore this season, he averaged 10.9 points and 3 rebounds per game.
- Marqwell Jackson. Went from UTEP to Duquesne(where he averaged 3 points per game), then to Junior College(where he averaged 11 points per game), then to Division 2 Pittsburgh State. It looks like he either quit Pitt State or didn’t play this season per their box scores.
- Lou Stallworth. Went from UTEP to UTRVG. He averaged 5 points and 3 assists per game as a Junior. He is now transferring out of UTRVG for his Senior season.
