Just got this e-mail...
Point guard informs head coach Jim Hayford he is transferring to the University of Utah
After previously informing a new coaching staff he was going to remain at Eastern Washington University, point guard Glen Dean notified new head coach Jim Hayford on Wednesday (May 11) that he has changed his mind and is leaving to attend the University of Utah.
"I was certainly surprised," said Hayford. "Since I was hired as head coach, he had made recent commitments to our program and his teammates to remain at Eastern."
Dean started 51 of the 53 games he played the past two seasons as an Eagle, averaging 12.7 points and 4.3 assists per game. He was the Big Sky Conference
Freshman of the Year in the 2009-10 season and was a second-team All-Big Sky Conference selection this past season.

Most likely another guy who transfers and does nothing of importance. Hope for the best with him, but I don't see him being that spectacular.

Montana men's basketball player Vaughn Autry has asked to be released from the team to pursue other options and hopefully play at a school closer to his hometown, fifth-year UM head coach Wayne Tinkle said Thursday.
"We really enjoyed our time with Vaughn," Tinkle said. "He tried to give us his best in everything we asked of him. We certainly wish him all the best in his future endeavors. He will always be a member of the Grizzly family, and we wish him well."
Autry, a 6-foot-2, 192-pound freshman guard from Los Angeles (Junipero Serra High School), plans to continue playing college basketball in California, at a school yet to be determined.
Last season Autry played in 23 games and averaged 6.9 minutes per contest as a true freshman. He averaged 1.5 points per game. He scored a career-high 10 points at Weber State, the only time he was in double figures this past season.
Seems like it's the same situation as Casey Trujeque. Wanted to be closer to home/felt a little more homesick, etc.
