UNLV's Dwayne Morgan requests release to transfer, per report

UNLV sophomore Dwayne Morgan is asking the Rebels for a release from his scholarship and allow him to transfer, per ESPN's Jeff Borzello. On the surface this looks to have nothing to do with the Rebels getting a new head coach but rather a family issue.

Morgan's mother has been dealing with some health issues and that looks to be the main reason he wants to continue his career closer to home in Baltimore. So, the coaching change may not have a lot to do with the former top-40 recruit to continue to play out West.
