In 2011, Staten transferred to West Virginia and subsequently sat out the 2011–12 season due to the NCAA transfer rules.

"You're talking about a 6-foot point guard and he's one of the top 15 rebounders in the league. What more do you want him to do?"

—Coach Bob Huggins on Juwan Staten [5]

His first season with Bob Huggins and the West Virginia Mountaineers resulted in his least successful year up till then. Staten started 21 of thirty-one season contests. Perhaps his most considerable moment was when the point guard made a game-winning shot against Virginia Tech with about five seconds on the clock.

Staten's junior season drew attention of the media immediately. He led the team under about every "point guard" category and proved to be an excellent rebounder as well. The Ohio native earned prestigious conference honors with West Virginia, such as the Big 12 First Team and the Big 12 All-Defensive Team in 2014. At the conclusion of the year, Staten averaged 18.1 points, 5.9 assists, and 5.6 rebounds, making him one of the nation's top point guards statistically.
