CINCINNATI - -

Xavier University men's basketball head coach Sean Miller announced today that junior center Charles Bronson has decided to transfer from XU.

"I want to thank Coach Miller and his staff for the opportunity I was given at Xavier," said Bronson. "My goal in coming to Xavier was to graduate and play basketball in hopes of continuing my playing career beyond college. In my post season meeting with Coach Miller a mutual decision was reached to transfer from Xavier to a program where I'll be able to achieve those goals. I am on track to graduate and the opportunity to earn playing time at another program is what led to this decision. I want to thank my teammates, coaches and the Xavier community for their continued support as I move forward with my college career."

Bronson played in 16 games this season, his first as a Musketeer, while averaging 2.1 points and 1.1 rebounds in 4.3 minutes per games. The highlight of his season came when he hit 4-of-5 from the field en route to a career-high 11 points against Virginia.

Bronson, a 6-9 junior from Philadelphia (Pa.) Lutheran High School, transferred to Xavier from Redlands Community College in El Reno, Okla.
