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

“I was notified this morning by a radio station that there was a rumor concerning Alex Galindo, and they asked me if there was any truth to the rumor,” Self said. “There is certainly a possibility that he could transfer and there is also a possibility that he could stay. He has been very open.”

Self said he would meet with Galindo and make an announcement early this week.

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

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

“Coach and I have met a couple of times since the season ended,” Galindo said. “There is still a lot of stuff to think about and talk about when he gets from St. Louis.”
