Jarred DuBois leaving the Lions

Update: This is confirmed. Jarred has been granted his release.

It's sounding like the rumors are true, and Jarred DuBois may be leaving the Lions. Definitely sad news, as Jarred played his heart out for the Lions over the past four years, battling a number of injuries but also making a number of big-time shots, none bigger than this game-winner against Notre Dame two years ago.

Jarred, who will graduate this semester from LMU, still has one year of college basketball eligibility, and will be able to play immediately next season with another program if he is enrolled as a graduate student. His minutes were dramatically cut this year, coming off the bench consistently for the first time in his career, and I would imagine he would prefer to start somewhere. With the emergence of Anthony Ireland as the team's starting poing guard, starting would likely have not been likely with the Lions, although with LaRon Armstead graduating you never know what Good may have done with the SG position.

Jarred averaged 10.1 points per game off the bench this past season.

I want to wish the best to JD. One thing Lions fans would have never questioned was his effort and dedication to the sport and the program, and it will definitely be sad to see him go.
