According to numerous sources on Twitter, the La Salle press release should be coming out soon regarding the decision of Philadelphia-grown Aaric Murray to transfer schools. The decision for the Explorers top scorer comes less than two weeks after their A-10 tournament loss to Temple.
↵Murray, a sophomore, averaged 15 and 8 in his second consecutive sub-.500 season as a college athlete. Unlike most transfers, he is expected to make the move to a better program, possibly in one of the Big 6 conferences. He’s a legitimate NBA prospect and there’s got to be some people questioning why he doesn’t just go straight to the pros rather than wasting a year of eligibility then leaving after his junior season when he’s 22. No word as of yet where he’ll be headed.
↵This is good news for Temple basketball, who would have had a really tough time defending him without the services of Lavoy Allen, who graduates in May.
