  • Jerome Seagears on the Move Again (UPDATED)

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Jerome Seagears is on the move again.

    Less than a month after leaving Rutgers in the wake of the Mike Rice scandal, Seagears is departing another school, too.

    Auburn announced that the 6-foot-1 point guard was moving on from the SEC program in order to return closer to his home in Silver Spring, MD.

    “Jerome came to me and expressed that he hadn’t truly recovered emotionally from his time at Rutgers,” Auburn Head Coach Tony Barbee said in a statement. “It is important to him that he continues his academic and athletic career closer to home where he can be near his immediate family and get the support system that he needs.”

    Seagears had also been considering Arkansas, Baylor, Marquette, Cincinnati and West Virginia, but sources close to Seagears told SNY.tv it’s possible he could return to Rutgers.

    He averaged 6.5 points and 2.6 assists last season.
