Former Duke Blue Devil, Elliot Willams has made a decision on which school he is going to transfer to. Elliot Williams who had, Kentucky, Tennesee, Memphis, and Vanderbilt listed as possible schools he would transfer to and the school he decided...drum roll please...University Of Memphis. Elliot Williams chose the Tigers to be closer to home due to illness in the family. This really hurts Duke, leaving only two guards from last year's team on next year's roster.
When coach K was asked about the situation, he had this to say, (ESPN.com)"We fully support him in his efforts to be closer to [his family] during this trying time," coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "He is a good young man with an opportunity to become an outstanding player. We wish him well as he determines his future. He will always be a part of our program and we will always be in his corner."
It's sad to see Elliot Williams leave to go back home for medical reasons but it shows just how much of an impact that coach Calipari has on players all over the nation.
