Jasper was a 4-star recruit and ranked No. 38th nationally out of Paso Robles, Ca. The 5th best point guard in the nation was recruited to Kentucky by Tubby Smith, but transferred to UNLV following his sophomore season under Billy Gillispie.
“The decision to transfer is in no way an indication of my experience playing for UK,” Jasper said. “I feel at this point in my life, it is important for me to be close to my family, and I intend to transfer to a school closer to the west coast where I can see my family more often, and they can see me play.
