Sophomore Omar Wattad will not be playing basketball at Georgetown next year, announced head coach John Thompson III in a press release today. The 6’5″ guard from Tennessee will transfer to a currently unknown school.

“Omar will not return to Georgetown next year,” Coach Thompson said in the statement. “We wish Omar the best in his future.”

Rumors regarding Wattad’s transfer have been circulating for weeks now, so today’s announcement does not come as much of a surprise. Wattad played sparingly this season averaging 2.6 points while playing in 25 games.

In the beginning of the year it looked like Wattad would be an integral part of the team’s rotation, getting his only start in a game against Florida International and earning Thompson’s praise as the leader of his second unit. However, as the Hoyas limped to the end of their season, it appeared Wattad fell out of favor, playing fewer minutes and racking up a number of DNPs in the season’s final games.
