According to the Northstar basketball blog, point guard Gary Correia has received his release from the University of Massachusetts and has committed to Boston University. Correia, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound guard originally from Providence, R.I., averaged 11 minutes per game and 2.2 points per game and 1.2 assists per game in his sophomore season. He will sit out a year and have two years of eligibility with BU under new head coach Patrick Chambers.

Incoming guard Daniel Munoz granted official release

Daniel Munoz, a 6-foot-1 point guard who signed a letter of intent earlier this season, has been granted his release by the administration.

Munoz, from St. Thomas Aquinas School in Fort Lauderdale, Fl., was recruited as a true point guard with a high basketball IQ and worked out with BU in early September but will now seek other options.

If Jake O'Brien decides not to return to BU, the Terriers will have three scholarships available for first-year coach Patrick Chambers to use.
