CINCINNATI, April 11 (UPI) -- Cincinnati guard Devan Downey will transfer after the spring semester to be closer to his family in Chester, S.C.

"This has been a difficult decision because of the great support I have received from the UC fans who have made me feel like family," Downey said on the school's Web site. "I thank them for their support. Family is important to me and I would like to take this opportunity to play closer to home, where my family can see me play. I had the opportunity to come home, so I know the value of family," said new coach Mick Cronin, a Cincinnati native.

As a freshman in the 2005-06 season, the 5-foot-10 inch Downey, a former state high school player of the year in South Carolina, started 31 of the Bearcats' 34 games. He was the team's third-leading scorer with 11.9 points per outing, and led Cincinnati in both assists (4.3) and steals (1.9).
