Kelvin Jones departs from UTEP basketball program
Over the years of the Tim Floyd era, many players left the UTEP basketball program, and one more can be added to the list—sophomore center Kelvin Jones.
In what was supposed to be a deeper team at the frontcourt position, UTEP lost one of their 7-footer’s who was expected to be a big part of the rotation this season.
Jones was nowhere to be seen at the Orange and White scrimmage.
Many just thought that he was out due to a leg injury he suffered nearly a week ago that he had to get an MRI on, but Floyd announced that Jones wanted to honor his wishes of not playing for the Miners anymore.
