UConn sophomore Jamal Coombs-McDaniel will transfer.
Coombs-McDaniel, recently arrested on a marijuana possession charge, is in the process of completing the spring academic semester at UConn.
“Jamal and I met recently and, although he loves the program, he would like more playing time,” said head coach Jim Calhoun. “He and I both agree that he may have more opportunity for that playing time in another program. He was a very important part of our national championship this season and I know is capable of great success in the future. We wish Jamal the best of luck athletically and academically where ever he decides to continue his college career.”
Coombs-McDaniel played in all 41 games last season and averaged 5.6 points.
