Junior guard Christian Williams, Iowa’s primary backup point guard from the last two seasons, notified Fran McCaffery last week that he will be transferring next semester and leaving the Iowa basketball team immediately. His last minute departure has the team searching for replacements, and the options are limited.
“Christian is a terrific young man with tremendous character,” McCaffery said in a university news release. “We are disappointed that Christian will no longer be a Hawkeye, but the players and coaches wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
Williams, a 6-5 combo guard from Peoria, Illinois, appeared in every game last season but struggled offensively.
