Bears lose two guards to transfer

Bench players Murray, Rossi depart

Coach Mike Montgomery will start next season with another thin roster.

Backup guards Emerson Murray and Alex Rossi are leaving Cal. Both appear on a list of transfers reported by CBS Sports’ Jeff Goodman. The two have been little used in their time on campus, but would have likely seen some increase in playing time with the graduation of forward Harper Kamp and guard Jorge Gutierrez. The pair combined to score 24.6 points per game in their final seasons.

Murray has reportedly signed a letter of intent with Seattle University, which is closer to the Canadian’s native Vancouver. He played in 27 games as a sophomore and averaged 1.7 points.

Rossi, a redshirt freshman who has struggled with a hernia injury his two years on campus, leaves Berkeley having scored only five points in 16 minutes of playing time.

    UCLA just picked up Shabazz Muhammad and Arizona has the best incoming class in the nation.   Cal needs some 4 star recruits.

    Why isn’t Coach Montgomery going after forward Anthony Bennett?   Why hasn’t David Andoh received and offer???????????????  It’s a shame we didn’t get Brandon Ashley.

  8. Sshafikh says:

    There’s been quite a few people transferring from Cal under Mike Montgomery. This does not bode well for a program that’s in desperate need of bringing in good quality student athletes. Sandy Barbour should try to address this problem.
