NEW ORLEANS (Ticker) -- Memphis sophomore guard Doneal Mack has decided to transfer to New Orleans, the school announced Wednesday.

Mack, who led the Tigers with 66 3-pointers last season, has enrolled in summer classes. Due to NCAA transfer rules, he will be eligible in the 2009-10 season.

"Doneal will be a tremendous impact player on our program," New Orleans coach Joe Pasternack said. "He is a great athlete and an unbelievable shooter. He will help us in practice this year, and people should really look forward to seeing him at Lakefront Arena in the years to come."

Mack averaged 6.9 points and connected on 36 percent (66-for-182) of his 3-pointers off the bench for Memphis, which lost the national championship in overtime to Kansas in April.
