“Devin has been a model citizen during his time here
at Hampton University,” stated Pirate head coach Bobby
Collins. “He
has had an excellent career both on the court and in the classroom.
I personally believe he was on his way to doing great things
here, but he has decided to move on based on personal reasons.
Our program will move on and continue the success we’ve
had in the past. Although I would have loved for Devin to continue
as a part of our program, we have to move on. I wish Devin
success in whatever he decides to do in the future.”
Green, a 6’7”, 205 lb. rising junior averaged
14 points and 4.9 rebounds in 63 career games at Hampton University.
The 2001-02 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year,
Green led the Pirates in scoring last season at 14.9 points
per outing. His game blossomed at the end of the season as
he averaged 19.3 points over the last 10 games, including a
career-high 28 points against North Carolina A&T. Along
with senior David Johnson, Green was to be the only other returning
starter for Collins and the only Pirate remaining on the roster
that averaged in double figures last season. With Green’s
departure Hampton’s top returning scorer is sophomore
guard Jeff Granger who contributed 7.1 points per game during
his rookie campaign.
