A tumultuous off-season continues for Idaho men’s basketball as another athlete throws his name into the transfer portal.
Sophomore forward Jared Rodriguez announced on Saturday that he will be entering his name in the transfer portal, just one day after Idaho announced former head coach Don Verlin’s termination.
Rodriguez made the announcement over Twitter, giving thanks to Idaho fans for the past two years.
“After discussing things with my family, I have decided to transfer from the University of Idaho and enter my name in the transfer portal,” Rodriguez said. “I wanted to thank the University of Idaho for a great freshman year and to the fans who made it special.”
During his freshman campaign Rodriguez started in 31 of the Vandals’ 32 games, leading the team with just over six rebounds per game and finishing third on the team in scoring.
Rodriguez delivered four double-doubles on the year with the season highlight coming against Southern Utah posting a career-high 28 points while ending the season scoring in double-figures throughout the final eight games.
The Idaho frontcourt continues to shrink with Rodriguez being the latest to enter his name into the transfer portal.
