UALR's Burns to transfer

Former University of Arkansas at Little Rock redshirt junior Deondre Burns has officially left the school and intends to transfer to Oral Roberts University, the guard posted on Twitter on Monday.

Burns' transfer was first reported by 247Sports and Jeff Goodman of WatchStadium.com.

Burns will be eligible to immediately play his senior season at Oral Roberts as a graduate transfer. Former UALR assistant coach Solomon Bozeman joined Oral Roberts' staff after two years on staff at UALR.

Burns, who averaged 10 points per game last season, will reunite with Bozeman for his final season.
