According to the Iowa City Press-Citizen, junior guard Jermain Davis will transfer to play at Minnesota State, a Division II school.
Davis expressed disatisfaction with the way coach Todd Lickliter had used him.
From the Press-Citizen: “I was just unhappy here,” Davis said Wednesday afternoon. “I didn’t really understand my role on the team.
“The style that we play is just so slow. I like to play more fast-paced, and force turnovers and stuff like that.”
Davis' frustrations about his role were certainly justified. Davis' minutes fluctuated greatly from game to game. Consider one seven-game stretch from Jan. 11 to Feb. 1. His minutes in those games: 35, 21, 10, 6, 12, 14 and 26.
As far as the style of play, that should be a minor concern for players. However, Davis had a right to be upset about his role.
Perhaps this is the reason David Palmer is also rumored to be hitting the road.
More bad news: Chanse Creekmur, who had committed to Iowa for the class of 2010, has opened up his recruitment, according to the Des Moines Register. In other words, he de-committed. Apparently he still has Iowa at the top of his list though.

I don't want people on our team that don't want to be Hawkeyes. Good riddens, JD.
