DURHAM, North Carolina -- North Carolina Central will lose four players from its men’s basketball team, head coach LeVelle Moton confirmed Thursday.
Reserve guards C.J. Wiggins, Alex Mills, Alston Jones and Brandon Goldsmith will transfer from the program. All four would have been seniors next season.
“At this time, Alex, C.J., Alston and Brandon concluded that it was in their best interest to play their senior year elsewhere,” Moton said. “It was indeed an honor to coach these outstanding young men. Their character, unselfishness and personalities will be truly missed. These young men will leave as champions and are all on track to receive their degree. They've made me a better coach and I wish them nothing but success at their new institutions. NCCU Basketball is better because they were a part of it.”
North Carolina Central went 19-16 overall and 9-7 in the MEAC. They entered the league tournament as the No. 6 seed, but got hot at the right time, winning the conference tournament with a 71-63 upset win over No. 1 Hampton. The Eagles advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the third time under Moton, and all four players saw action during a 64-46 loss to Texas Southern.
