CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (UPI) -- Sophomore forward Alex Stephenson is
leaving North Carolina and will transfer to a school that is closer to
his family in Los Angeles.
Stephenson said in a statement posted Friday on UNC's Web site the
decision was motivated by health concerns.
"My family is dealing with some health challenges at this time and as
a result I have made the decision to transfer to be closer to home,"
he said. "The two years I have spent as a Tar Heel have been great. My
teammates, Coach (Roy) Williams and his staff and the whole Carolina
family are the best. I wish to thank the UNC fans for all their
support and encouragement."
In two seasons in Chapel Hill, N.C., the 6-foot-9 inch Stephenson
played in 75 games with 237 points, 252 rebounds and 45 blocked shots.
"I am extremely, extremely disappointed but I feel so great about Alex
that I understand his decision to transfer," Williams said.
