Seton Hall C Okosun to transfer

Jul 18, 2008 - 4:51 PM SOUTH ORANGE, New Jersey (Ticker) - Seton Hall junior center Augustine Okosun has left the men's basketball program and will pursue transfer opportunities, coach Bobby Gonzalez announced Friday.

The native of Nigeria played in 30 games for the Pirates last season, starting 11, in his only year with the Pirates. The 6-11 Okosun averaged 1.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in just under 10 minutes per game.

"Augustine worked hard for us and was a solid contributor last season," Gonzalez said. "Unfortunately, we were not able to afford him the playing time he desired. With his release, he'll be able to play more at another school. I wish him the best of luck."
