CINDY ELLEN RUSSLL / NOV. 2015
Megan Huff, the University of Hawaii women’s basketball team’s second-leading scorer this season, announced on Tuesday that she plans to transfer schools.
Megan Huff, the University of Hawaii women’s basketball team’s second-leading scorer this season, intends to transfer and has been granted a release from the school.
Huff, a two-time Big West Sixth Player of the Year, announced her plans to continue her career at another school on social media on Tuesday night. In a text to the Star-Advertiser today, Huff said she’s “still in the process of weighing my options on which school I plan to go to. I’m waiting to see where God leads me on this journey.”
UH head coach Laura Beeman confirmed she’d given Huff a release to transfer, but declined further comment.
Huff, a 6-foot-3 center, played in all 32 games this season with four starts, providing consistent production off the bench while helping the Rainbow Wahine capture the Big West tournament title and advance to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1998
She averaged 9.7 points and 6.5 rebounds per game and led UH with 33 blocked shots while earning second-team All-Big West honors.
She averaged just over 21 minutes per game and shot 50.9 percent from the field, good for fourth in the Big West. She closed the season by posting a game-high 18 points and 13 rebounds in UH’s 66-50 loss to UCLA in the first round of the NCAA tournament on March 19 in Los Angeles.
Huff began her UH career with the Rainbow Wahine volleyball program in 2014 and joined the basketball team that December. She averaged 6.9 points and 4.9 rebounds as a freshman and was named Big West Sixth Player of the Year, an award she retained this season.
She played in seven matches with the volleyball team last fall before deciding to devote her attention to basketball full time.

When it rains it pours.
I wonder what happened.
Who cares? It’s her decision and that should be enough.
NOOOO! Aww man this blows!
Why? Because she’s a good player? You wouldn’t give a darn if it was a marginal player, would you? Purely selfish, that’s what you and others with same sentiments are. You don’t give a hoot about her as a student-athlete, only as a valuable commodity for your entertainment pleasure.
Unhappy where you are you may as well move on. She will probably attend a school in one of the power five conference where the competition is tougher. Only she and coach Beeman knows.
Wow! Too bad; she would be a big loss to the program. Saw her in the NCAA first round game vs. UCLA; she was the only UH Wahine player that was consistently a threat to score and play solid defense. Even the commentators were commenting on her basketball prowess. Sad to hear; yes I wonder why she had a change of heart.
Probably coach vs player issues. Hey if she can’t hack it then leave. We showed her Aloha and apparently she decided otherwise. Adios.
Didn’t know you start and stop “aloha” to fit your personal agenda. You wouldn’t know “aloha” if it slammed into your face.
Aloha wish she would have left God out of the equation since this is not a spiritual decision.
How would you know?
What’s biting your hehind but than again this is your MO
What’s biting my behind are hypocrites like you who somehow knows what a “spiritual decision” is and decides for others whether they’re making a “spiritual decision” or not.
probably getting offers from bigger schools. money is better there. just shows you there is no loyalty in sports anymore.
Leave loyalty out of it. Athletes are treated like slaves, they need to show no loyalty to their masters.
The grass is not always greener and you may not be as good as you think you are!
Big disappointment.
Good for her. All college athletes should be able to freely transfer to where ever they want to go without any restrictions.
