Boston College forward Shamari Spears is transferring to Charlotte. A Charlotte spokesman said Tuesday that Spears wanted to be closer to his home in Salisbury (NC) because of an undisclosed family medical issue.
Spears was the Eagles' third leading scorer last season ... averaging 9.6 points and 6.1 rebounds and starting 17 games.
Spears has two years of eligibility left and may be allowed to play next year. Typically, transfers must sit out one season before suiting up for their new school. However, the NCAA can waive that it if is deemed a hardship situation ... which his family situation certainly could be considered.
BC also will see fellow sophomore Daye Kaba transferring as well for undisclosed reasons.
