Husker sophomore guard Jay-R Strowbridge ended speculation today by announcing his intention to transfer, leaving the Husker men's basketball team with at least one open scholarship for the 2008 late signing period.

Strowbridge says that he is transferring to be closer to home (Ardmore, AL).  Apparently, Jay-R lost a cousin over Christmas break, and has had a rough time since returning to Lincoln.

Strowbridge is the 8th player to leave the program in Doc Sadler's 2 years, according to the Journal-Star.  That sounds concerning at first, but that number includes Roburt Sallie (who failed to qualify initially), Jamel White (dismissed for disciplinary reasons), Jeremy Barr (the USC transfer who never actually suited up), and a number of Collier recruits who were not likely to get much playing time under Doc.  Hopefully, the attrition is more or less over.
