FAIRFAX, Va. - Forward Colin Wyatt (Williamsburg, VA), a sophomore on the George Mason men's basketball team, has been granted a release, and plans to transfer to another school, head coach Jim Larranaga announced.

"Colin is a fine, young man," said Larranaga. "My coaching staff and I wish him the best, and we hope he finds a school that meets his needs."
