Freshman Trevor Manuel signed to play basketball for Oregon on September 11, 2014 over Florida State, Michigan, Michigan State, USC and Wake Forest. Apparently, Oregon hasn’t been the right fit for Manuel, who asked for his release from the team this week with the intention to transfer.
The news was first reported by DuckTerritory.com and was later confirmed by Ducks’ head coach Dana Altman on Tuesday.
The 6-foot-9 forward from Lansing, Michigan played in nine games for the Ducks this season, averaging 1.1 points, 1 rebound and 7.1 minutes per game. He last played on December 29 against Western Oregon.
“The door’s always open,” Altman said to the Oregonian’s Danny Moran. “I don’t want him to leave. Obviously I think he’s got a lot of upside, but everybody’s got to do what they’ve got to do.”
Oregon’s season continues on Wednesday, January 6, when it hosts Cal at Matthew Knight Arena at 6 p.m.
