University of Florida men's basketball player Alex Tyus is transferring. The school announced the news on Friday morning. Tyus, a forward, was the Gators' best post player in 2008 and was second on the team in scoring last season. He averaged 12.5 points per game. "Sometimes for guys, they want something different," UF coach Billy Donovan said. "I think for Alex, I enjoyed coaching him for two years, but at the same point I think he wants to do things for himself that are decisions that he has to make on his own for what he wants."

I wonder if this will have an affect on John Wall's choice of school to attend in the fall.

The bromance is back on. You don't have to choose who to invite when you throw a party.

Bubba was giving me a Dr Phil intervention. Asking me if I really, really needed to be so harsh.

I'm ok with this. In fact would be ok with all of the current group to go. We need tougher basketball players.
