After just one year at playing for the Tar Heels, twin forwards Travis and David Wear are transferring from North Carolina. This from the AP:
Coach Roy Williams made the announcement Thursday, one day after he said their father called them and asked for a release from their scholarships.
Williams says the request "came as a complete surprise" because he met with both players in mid-April and came up with their development plans for next season.
Neither player was a major factor for last season's disappointing Tar Heel squad, but both former five-star recruits from Mater Dei High School in Southern California were expected to one day be stars and help replace Ed Davis, who recently bolted for the NBA.
The twins have yet to announce where they intend to transfer to, though SB Nation's own Carolina March speculates that it is likely a school closer to home.
