We have recently learned that Lance Kearse is leaving the Rams. We were initially prompted by a status update on his Facebook account:
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-822" title="lanceleaves" src="http://www.vcuramnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/lanceleaves.jpg" alt="lanceleaves" />
In an <a href="http://www.timesdispatch.com/rtd/sports/college/college_basketball/article/VCUS23_20090122-234702/186468/">interview</a> with the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Kearse stated:
<span id="article_font">"Basically, Coach Grant and I are going our separate ways," he said, referring to Rams coach Anthony Grant. "There were a couple of issues, but I really can't talk about it right now."</span>
<span>He indicates that the issues didn't have too much to do with his health conditions over the past few months.</span>
<span>Kearse's departure adds to an increasing list of roster issues:</span>
<ul>
<li><span>Franck Ndongo - out for the season on injury.</span></li>
<li><span>T.J. Gwynn - out until at least February on foot injury.</span></li>
<li><span>Myk Brown - transferred out of VCU for more playing time.</span></li>
</ul>
We hate to see Kearse leave, but great to have him on the team for his short tenure. We wish him the best of luck moving forward.
