MORGANTOWN - Chris Garnett of Decatur, Georgia, the only center left on the West Virginia basketball roster, has been released from his scholarship. <br>
<br>
University athletic officials announced today that Garnett is transferring to another school. <br>
<br>
The six-foot-ten rising junior from Decatur, Georgia, didn't tell WVU what school he's going to. <br>
<br>
His transfer request came before John Beilein was named head coach in April, but was only recently approved. <br>
<br>
Garnett played 24 games for the Mountaineers last season, starting twice and averaging 1.8 points and 2.3 rebounds. <br>
<br>
He was suspended for a violation of team rules early in the season, then again for the rest of the season with only two games left. <br>
<br>
Jabbar Young's request to be released from his scholarship was granted last month, and junior center Ales Chan has left school for personal reasons. <br>
<br>
That leaves WVU -- which finished 8-20 last season -- with mainly perimeter players.
