Guard Earl Timberlake declares transfer decision

The Miami Hurricanes men’s basketball team has now lost two four-star recruits over a handful of months.

Freshman guard Earl Timberlake, one of Miami’s highest-rated recruits in program history, stated he will transfer out of the Miami program on Sunday, an ESPN report stated.

Despite having only competed in seven games this season, the DeMatha Catholic High School graduate opted for a fresh start elsewhere. Timberlake competed in only seven games this season as a result of lingering ankle and shoulder injuries which prevented him from even practicing.

“I’ve been dealing with a whole lot this season as far as being away from home and ankle and shoulder injuries,” Timberlake said.
