Rumors Say Floyd has left hoops program

Internet rumors of reasonable reliability are indicating that PG John Floyd has left the hoops program. He had problems with a DUI this year and reportedly had his scholarship pulled, and now is apparently gone from the program. According to the same rumors, Dusan also decided to stay in Serbia this Fall.

The University published its hoops roster just yesterday, and it listed them both, but who can tell. Neither player will be missed per se. Dusan had a little promise and was struggling to adjust.

Floyd got a lot of PT, infuriating many Falcon fans, but always gave his absolute full effort on the floor. He was unathletic and fell in love with his very average jumper, yet he also drained some big 3s and had some scoring runs when we really needed them. Hopefully, he will graduate and do well.

His loss leaves two seniors--Samarco and Lefeld. All of last year's PG minutes have now left the program (Wright, Floyd and Robinson). Who goes now? Ryan Sims? Darryl Clements? Brian Moten? Doesn't seem like its going to be a strong position for us.

UPDATE: The latest Falcon roster shows that Floyd is gone. Dusan is still on the roster. Word is that Floyd was given a second chance--without a scholarship--and had attitude problems, and quit the team when confronted about his attitude.

UPDATE II: The Blade has the story on Floyd leaving the team.
