Sophomore Remy Cofield will leave the men's basketball program effective immediately, a Penn Athletics press release said.
“Remy has been dealing with some ongoing family situations, and has reached a point where he feels it is in his best interests to spend more of his time focusing on them,” coach Glen Miller said in the statement. “He plans to finish the school year here at Penn, and then transfer to a school that is closer to home at the end of the semester. We respect the privacy and personal nature of this situation, and wish him well going forward.”
Cofield hails from Newton, Mass.
The 6-foot-4, 205-pound small forward averaged 2.9 points and 1.0 rebounds in 27 career games for the Quakers, including three starts.

This is very disappointing. I still had very high hopes for him as a Quaker. Best of luck to him and his family.

Can anything else go wrong for this program?
What also is so distressing is how interest is waning.
To think, I was once the Leader of the Red and Blue Crew.

The phantom Jon Lubin strikes again. The above comment is falsely attributed to me. Come on guy, please stop. It sounds like you've got passion about the program; use your own voice, not somebody else's.
