Breaking news: Marcus Johnson leaves UConn

I’ll leave it up to old media.

I feel bad for him, especially regarding this:

Johnson, a top 50 national recruit in 2005, exhausted his junior eligibility by playing six minutes in UConn’s first exhibition Thursday against Assumption, according to a UConn spokesman. If Johnson is unable to have a year of eligibility restored, and because he must sit out two semesters when transferring to another Division I school, he will not be eligible to play until the spring semester of 2009, when he will be a senior.

Marcus Johnson is/was a serious talent who never found his place at UConn. I remember several games last year thinking that this was the only guy who could hit a medium range jumper consistently on the team. Alas, things did not work out. We wish Marcus the best of luck.
