ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- University of Michigan men's basketball head coach John Beilein announced today (Thursday, April 6) that sophomore Aubrey Dawkins was granted his release from the program. Dawkins intends to transfer to the University of Central Florida and play for his father, newly hired head coach Johnny Dawkins.
"While we certainly did not wish for this to happen, it is quite understandable," said Beilein. "I was able to coach my son and see him grow as a person and player and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
