Georgian leaves West Virginia basketball team

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&#39;t tell WVU what school he&#39;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&#39;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.
