LaVonte Dority Seeking Transfer

According to Greg Auman today, sophomore guard LaVonte Dority is seeking to transfer and will have two years of eligibility after he leaves. The 6-1 196-pounds guard out of Chicago started the season as the Bulls point guard, but since the rise of freshman guard Anthony Collins, his playing time has been severely reduced, leading to his decision.

Dority had averaged 3 points a game, 1.1 rebounds a game, had 2 steals, 16 assists and just 7 turnovers in his playing time, but with Collins taking over the starting role, Dority is gone, leaving Heath with a depleted bench. The return of Jawanza Poland does help, but USF can't afford any injuries at this point. Walk-on freshman Alberto Damour and newcomer Mike McCloskey (thanks to Mike Manganello for pointing out his name) are on the bench and could be key pieces in case anyone gets injured.

We wish LaVonte the best of luck wherever he goes to, hope he has a successful career and thank you for the work and effort you gave as a Bull.
