Former Virginia guard/forward Derrick Byars said Tuesday that he is transferring to Vanderbilt and will begin summer classes there next week.
The Memphis native announced in April that he would be leaving the Virginia program, but did not reveal any future plans at that time.
In an interview with the Commercial Appeal of Memphis, Byars explained why he decided to continue his career elsewhere than Virginia.
"I didn't feel like I was getting the most of my career there," Byars said. "We just didn't see eye-to-eye on a lot of things."
Byars started 18 games for the men's basketball team this past season, but failed to live up to expectations, averaging only 7.5 points and 3.4 rebounds during his sophomore campaign.
