Duke sophomore Olek Czyz, who the Blue Devils' program announced Dec. 18 will transfer from the school immediately, is reportedly considering attending Nevada or Arizona State.
According to the Reno Gazette-Journal, Czyz was present at Nevada's 78-69 win over Portland Monday. The forward is currently trying to schedule a visit at Arizona State. He will likely decide between the two schools in the next two weeks so that he can enroll in the spring and be eligible to play college hoops again during the second semester of the 2010-2011 season.
Czyz cited a lack of playing time as a Blue Devil as his chief reason for seeking a transfer. In his freshman campaign, the forward averaged just 3.9 minutes per game. That average picked up somewhat early this season—especially in the absence of Nolan Smith for the team's first two games—but Czyz still only saw just over ten minutes on the floor per game.
“If I look back I don’t regret it, what I’ve been through there," Czyz said. "Obviously I am going to miss the program, but I just felt I’ve got to get out there on the floor.
“The main thing I’m looking for is playing time."
The Blue Devils defeated Arizona State earlier this season in Madison Square Garden 64-53. Center Eric Boateng became a member of the Sun Devil program after transferring from Duke following his freshman campaign in the 2005-2006 season.
