Another hoops casualty

Freshman Garvin Hunt confirmed in an e-mail today that he has decided to leave the Penn basketball team.

“It’s no rumor. I have decided not to play Penn Basketball next year,” he wrote.  ”To try to explain why would be like reading a book to you, as there are a lot of reasons and thoughts involved.”

Hunt picked up the sport relatively late in secondary school, and once he arrived at Penn it became clear that he would be a major project. He saw limited action this past year, playing nine minutes in six games with one rebound and no points. The Buzz will have more insights into Hunt’s reasons for leaving the team as they become available.
