UConn freshman big man Javonte Brown-Ferguson is transferring, he told ZAGSBLOG.
He has played in just two games, tallying two points and one rebound.
UConn coach Dan Hurley told reporters the transfer “happened very suddenly. That wasn’t something that we thought was pending. But I understand the culture of college basketball, and what’s to come with the new transfer rules that are gonna come into place.”
