Florida's Tyus transferring

Florida sophomore Alex Tyus is transferring, an SEC source told CBSSports.com on Friday morning.

An official announcement is expected later Friday.

A 6-foot-8 forward, Tyus averaged 12.5 points (second on the team) and 6.7 rebounds (first on the team) for the Gators this season. His departure likely means Billy Donovan will have to avoid a third consecutive NIT without the luxury of his top two scorers considering Nick Calathes has declared for early entry into the NBA Draft.

Calathes hasn't hired an agent and could return to school, if he chooses.

However, industry sources believe the point guard has more than likely played his final game in college.

Florida's Tyus transferring

Coach Donovan's comments surrounding the planned transfer of Alex Tyus are rather revealing as he stated, "You know there's a certain vision, a certain path and a certain commitment necessary for the team going forward that you want to have. For Alex, that's not really what he wanted to do.". What Tyus wanted is obviously what is going to be good for Alex Tyus, rather than what is good for a TEAM'S success.

These two transfers (Chaney & Tyus) will free up 2 scholarships, and I'm, at least, pleased to see the decisions coming at this time, rather than one game into the season, as happened with Jai Lucas.

 I like your positivity(?). Makes me feel good about a bad situation. Kenny Boynton and Brandon Knight will be great in 2010. We just need a nice 6'11" PF.

With Vernon Maclin and Boynton, it will be at least fun to watch.

I don't know what this guy is talking about. There are no viruses on that link for Florida transfers. It's a florida blog with detailed information about the last 12 years of departures from the Gator basketball program under Billy Donavon.

 my sentiment exactly! I think your right, he just caught lightning in a bottle. I am not saying he is a bad coach, but i think his back to back national titles  (with the same players) may not be the best gauge in determining his ability to coach.
