Turley leaving Great Danes

It seems as if there will be a scholarship for Will Harris, a transfer from the University of Virigina and member of the Cavaliers team that defeated UAlbany in the 2007 NCAA Tournament, after all.

Al Turley is leaving the team as reported today by the school.

This continues the upheaval or overturn of the Great Danes as we approach the 2008-09 season.

I'll have more on this later.

Here's more from the release....

Albany, N.Y. -- University at Albany men’s basketball forward Al Turley is leaving the University at Albany for personal reasons and intends to stay closer to his family, as head coach Will Brown announced today.

Turley, a 6-foot-7 and 285-pound forward/center, was a starter in 11 of 30 games played as a freshman last season. He averaged 2.9 points and 2.3 rebounds and blocked 15 shots. Turley, who was born in New Orleans , was an all-district selection as a scholastic player at Westfield High School in Houston, Texas .

“Al has made a decision that he feels is in his best personal interest,” Brown said. “He has informed me of his intent to pursue a college football career in his home state. As a student-athlete, he had a solid first year on the court and in the classroom. We thank him for his contributions to our program and wish him well.”
