After forward/center Kenny Kadji asked to be released from the basketball team, the University of Florida granted his request, coach Billy Donovan announced Friday.



“After re-evaluating his situation, Kenny and I had the opportunity
 to sit down and talk about his future,” said Donovan.  “Kenny has 
made a decision that it’s in his best interest to start new somewhere 
else. He’s still recovering from back surgery and working hard to get 
himself healthy. I wish him the best in his future.”



Kadji averaged 1 point and 0.8 rebounds per game in eight games before having back 
surgery last season. He would have entered 2010-11 as a redshirt sophomore, and was granted a medical redshirt for the 2009-10 season.

He averaged 3.7 points and 2.3 rebounds per game for his career at UF.




“While I’m sad that my time here at Florida is ending, UF will always be special to me,” said Kadji. “I have goals that I hope to reach and only a short window of my life to make those things happen.”
