Report: Trent Lockett transferring from ASU

And the hits just keep on coming for Herb Sendek and
Arizona
State basketball.
Jeff Goodman of CBS
Sports is reporting that leading scorer
and senior-to-be Trent Lockett will be the latest Sun
Devil
to transfer out of the program.
The reason? Lockett wants to explore playing closer to
home
in Minnesota to be near his ailing mother.
Lockett was the Sun Devils’ leading scorer this past
season,
averaging 13 points per game. Lockett also led the Sun
Devils in scoring as a sophomore in 2010-11.
This marks the third player to transfer from ASU in
the
last two weeks, as Chanse Creekmur and Kyle Cain have both
announced that they’ll continue their collegiate athletic
careers elsewhere.
But neither of those transfers has the impact of losing
Lockett, a heady and steady player who is undoubtedly the
leader of the Sun Devil team.
Lockett is also a student in the Barrett Honors College at
ASU, and is on course to graduate in three years, so he
could feasibly play immediately after transferring.
