Galindo considering transfer

Rumors that freshman forward Alex Galindo could transfer to a school closer to his home in Newark N.J., were confirmed by Kansas coach Bill Self on Friday.

Self, who is at the Final Four in St. Louis was asked specifically about the possibility of Galindo transferring.

“I was notified this morning by a radio station that there was a rumor concerning Alex Galindo (transferring) and they asked me if there was any truth to the rumor,” Self said. “The fact of the matter is Alex and I have visited about this and we are going to come to a definite answer when I get back from the Final Four.

“There is certainly a possibility that he could transfer and there is also a possibility that he could stay. He has been very open and upfront. We’ll have an announcement one way or another early next week.”

Galindo averaged almost four points and nine minutes a game for the Jayhawks this season. However, he proved to be a legitimate three –point threat, averaging 44 percent from behind the arc. He hit critical three-pointer in wins against Georgia Tech and Texas A&M.;

Galindo admitted there was a possibility that he could transfer, but didn’t say that it was definite.

“Coach and I have met a couple of times since the season ended,” Galindo said. “We plan on meeting again once he gets back from the Final Four. There is still a lot of stuff to think about and talk about when he gets from St. Louis.”
