Memphis transfer Austin Nichols would like to play for Virginia, but Memphis isn't likely to alter its initial release, sources told CBSSports.com.
The Tigers blocked four schools -- Virginia, Iowa, Providence and Tennessee -- on Nichols' release last week in addition to any program in the American Athletic Conference. The four schools mentioned were restricted because they're on Memphis' schedule in 2016-17.
Sources said Nichols would like to play for the Cavaliers, but knows that Memphis' administration is unlikely to alter the initial release and he would then have to file a formal appeal.
