St. Bonaventure losing two players, including top frosh Morgan

OLEAN, N.Y. (AP) - St. Bonaventure forward Matt Morgan, a two-time Atlantic 10 Conference rookie of the week last season, is one of two players who announced Friday they're transferring.

Freshman guard Hillary Haley is also leaving the school. St. Bonaventure did not provide reasons for their transfers or say where they were going.

"It's unfortunate that Hillary and Matt won't be a part of the resurgence of this program," said coach Mark Schmidt, who completed his first season with an 8-22 record. "We wish them the best not only in their college careers, but with all their future endeavors."

Morgan averaged 3.4 points in 28 games, but enjoyed an eight-game stretch when he averaged 10.4 points and five rebounds. Haley averaged 5.6 points and 2.4 rebounds over 29 games, including 14 starts.

The Bonnies added swingman Michael Davenport on Thursday when he signed a national letter of intent. Listed at 6-foot-3, Davenport averaged 11 points and five rebounds as a senior playing for Cincinnati's Archbishop Moeller High School last season.
