Problems grow for San Francisco

I mentioned yesterday that starter Perris Blackwell was intending to leave the Dons, but it was reported today by the Silicon Valley Mercury News that in total six players would be transferring from San Francisco. Joining Blackwell in jumping ship are four reserves, as well as starter Michael Williams, who averaged 29 minutes and 11 points a game.

Blackwell was the team's second-leading scorer.

The Dons also lose three seniors to graduation, including star Angelo Caloiaro and Rashad Green. They will return just six players to next year's squad. The team will lose their top four scorers from this past season.
