Miami lands Michigan transfer LJ Cason

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Michigan transfer guard LJ Cason is on the move to Miami, per reports.

The 6-foot-2 sophomore averaged 8.4 points, 2.4 assists and 1.9 rebounds last season before suffering a torn ACL Feb. 27 against Illinois.

The Florida native opted to change teams following Dusty May’s departure to the Dallas Mavericks and is now returning to his home state to play for coach Jai Lucas.

He joins Villanova transfer guard Acaden Lewis, Georgia transfer center Somto Cyril, Robert Morris transfer forward DeSean Goode; Indiana transfer guard Nick Dorn: Saint Peter’s transfer guard Brent Bland, and Bucknell transfer guard Quin Berger.
