According to The Chronicle, Duke's Alex Murphy has decided to transfer.
Alex Murphy has made the decision to transfer from Duke, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Chronicle.
Murphy, a redshirt sophomore, will transfer at the end of the semester. The Blue Devils do not play again until Dec. 16 against Gardner-Webb after the conclusion of the Fall semester. Finals begin Tuesday Dec. 10 and finish Sunday Dec. 15, after which an announcement would be likely.
Duke's depth is well-known and Murphy's departure should be no surprise. However, it strikes me as odd that the student newspaper has broken the story. Duke may have wanted to keep this a non-story until the end of the semester, but its out there now.
The rumors are that Murphy is headed to Florida, but those are simply internet rumors.
