Gavin leaving VCU

Former MAAC rookie of the year Jay Gavin transferred from Marist following Matt Brady's departure. He's now departing another school himself.
Jay Gavin announced that he will be leaving VCU after his playing time decreased dramatically. He had a marquee coming-out performance against national powerhouse Oklahoma in which he poured in 20 points.
This will be Gavin's second transfer since coming to Marist as a freshman. He was apparently at odds with his new coach at VCU, Shaka Smart, over playing time.
Smart apparently said that he does not determine playing time, the players do.
Smart took over for current Alabama coach Anthony Grant.

Smart replaced Grant at VCU, not Capel.
