Report: Michael Bradley To Transfer From UConn

UConn's Michael Bradley arrives with the team at the Reliant Stadium before UConn takes on Butler in the 2011 NCAA Final Four National Championship in Houston, Texas.

Lose three players, gain one player. And now it appears the UConn Huskies men’s basketball team will be losing another player.

According to Brendan Quinn of Nooga.com, redshirt freshman Michael Bradley will be leaving the program to transfer to another school.

Bradley sat out his first season in Storrs, earning a redshirt. He missed the entire 2011-12 season after fracturing his ankle in October.

Quinn states that Bradley could transfer somewhere closer to home and possibly receive a hardship waiver since his grandmother was recently diagnosed with cancer.

I have to be honest here. If this report turns out to be true, I’m shocked.

With Alex Oriakhi leaving the program and Andre Drummond heading to the NBA, Bradley was in line for a chance to become a part of the regular rotation for Jim Calhoun. Now, we are looking at Enosch Wolf being our center for the 2012-13.

Either way, best of luck to Bradley.
