A Brown radio broadcast has reported that All-Ivy guard Keenan Jeppesen quit the team right before its win over Quinnipiac. In addition, Basketball-U.com said that he has also left the school.
Over the summer, Jeppesen had applied for transfer admission to Penn, but was denied.
The junior averaged 11.1 points and led Brown in scoring, steals (1.89 per game) and rebounds (5.0 per game), enough for All-Ivy second team.
This year, he has not been as impressive, shooting 30 percent from the field and leading the team with 30 turnovers.
The Ontario native wanted a change in environment last summer, but the Penn admissions department did not consider his application. He applied to Penn sometime after his former coach, Glen Miller, arrived in late April, long after the March 15 transfer deadline.
According to Penn Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Lee Stetson, the late application was the reason for its immediate rejection.
However, a week before he said that, Stetson explained that Penn did not want to steal players from a fellow Ivy League program.
"He made his choice, and Brown is his place," Stetson told The Summer Pennsylvanian in mid-July. "Just like we would not want to have students taken out from underneath of our program at Penn."
Jeppesen did not immediately return phone calls for this report.
Brown beat Quinnipiac 80-74 on Saturday without him.
