That's a huge loss for the Friars.

Fans on Scout forum are very surprised

The timing seems odd. I wonder if it's grades.

This blows big time for Providence. I was super bullish on their chances next year, but a lot of that was due to Chukwu exploding as an interior force. Feel bad for Dunn now, as he lost a big factpr in helping him shine next year. Also, my man Big Ed Cooley has some rotten luck with player movement (and some of it was his fault with knuckleheads like Ledo and Austin, but this is two straight years that a key player transferred late and out of the blue on them).

Really tough for Dunn, though I thought he should have entered the draft in the first place given his injury history.

Maybe he's just unhappy, or it could be grades, or it could be other stuff, you just never know. I know of a few people in that annals of history that were not welcomed back for this reason or that, and it was always a 'post semester decision to transfer'.

Insiders on that providence board thread seem to indicate that the staff was trying to talk him out of leaving....and that it might have something to do with an assistant coach leaving to go to Alabama.

Villanova and Virginia schedule home and home beginning at Virginia this December.
