Ronrico White of UTC slams during warmups.University of Tennessee at Chattanooga basketball coach Will Wade and incoming freshman Christian Kennedy have agreed to part ways.
Kennedy, a 6-foot-10 center from Warner Robins, Ga., will be going to Daytona State, a junior college where he is expected to redshirt for the upcoming season.
“It’s a mutual agreement that he wasn’t going to get the early playing time that he wanted here, so his parents and I sat down and they asked me to help him look for options,” Wade said. “He needed a bridge year. He did everything we asked and he was a great student.”
Kennedy’s departure will leave Wade with 11 scholarship players for the 2013-14 season. A key player is currently injured.
Junior guard Ronrico White underwent hip surgery to correct a torn labrum and is rehabilitating back at home.
