UAB men's basketball transfers out - where they are now
We lost seven players who transferred out from last year's team. Their info is below for those who want to follow them:
Jalen Benjamin is at Mount St. Mary's. He has started 3 games, averaging 25 minutes, 11 points and 5 rebounds a game, and shooting 43.8% from three-point range.
Kassim Nicholson is playing at Tennessee State. He is averaging 5.5 points and 9.5 rebounds in 30 minutes a game.
Koby Jeffries is a starter at Tennessee-Martin, where he is averaging 30 minutes, 4.5 points and 5.0 rebounds.
Simeon Kirkland is at New Orleans. He has averaged 16 minutes in the first two games, scoring 7.0 ppg and pulling down 2 rpg.
Tobias Rotegaard is at Long Beach State. He has played in two games, a total of 7 minutes, and has two points.
Terrell Ard, Jr. plays for Presbyterian. In three games, he has played a total of 24 minutes, has 4 rebounds, but it 0-7 from the field.
Tyreek Scott-Grayson transferred to Northeastern, but he has not played through the first three games. Not sure what is up there--he is still on their roster.
From players still around who transferred out two years ago:
Tamell Pearson plays at Western Illinois, averaging 23 minutes, 7 ppg and 4 rpg. (Western Ill. did beat Nebraska last week.)
Luis Hurtado is at Bryant, where he averages 22 minutes, 4.3 ppg, 7.7 rpg, and 4.0 apg--against some pretty good competition, including Clemson and Rhode Island.
Wasn't able to find Jordan Brinson, Makhtar Gueye, Jude Akabueze and Joshua Sippial on anyone's roster right now. Brinson played last year for Utah Valley State and Jude was at Jones juco in Mississippi. Sippial went to Florida Gulf Coast, but was cut, then was supposed to be heading to Detroit Mercy to play for Mike Davis (and Donnie Marsh, who was at FGC), but he's not on the Detroit roster. I don't think Mak ever landed, though he had originally announced a transfer to Towson State.
(Another transfer from a couple of years back: Nate Darling, who went to Delaware, is now with Agua Caliente in the NBA D-League. He scored 11 points in his team's win yesterday over Stockton. He is still the property of the Charlotte Hornets, for whom he played in seven games last year.)
