Austin Jr. to transfer in search of playing time

On the heels of Makinde London's decision to transfer, Xavier announced sophomore Larry Austin Jr. also will leave the program to play elsewhere.

"Larry stated to us that he has a desire to transfer with a hope of getting more playing time," Xavier coach Chris Mack said. "We appreciate Larry’s contributions to our program and wish him well."

Austin played behind senior Dee Davis as a freshman and then behind freshman Edmond Sumner as a sophomore. With four-star commit Quentin Goodin coming in next year and Myles Davis a capable back-up at the point, extended minutes likely would have been hard to come by for Austin.
