Reggie Witherspoon’s effort to keep Canisius forwardly places among the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference’s upper echelon just became more of a challenge.
Takal Molson, the Golden Griffins’ leading scorer this past season, will be transferring out of his hometown program, according to Stadium college basketball insider Jeff Goodman, who confirmed this development Saturday morning via Twitter. Molson will have two years of eligibility wherever he lands, beginning with the 2020-21 season.
A first team all-MAAC Selection this year for a Canisius team that finished among a tie for second place in the league standings and came just two wins shy of what would have been the program’s first conference tournament championship since 1996, Molson led the Griffs in scoring, averaging 16.9 points per game, with his 5.4 rebounds per contest ranking second on the team. The Buffalo native was also the MAAC Rookie of the Year in 2017-18, and raised eyebrows when he decided to test the NBA Draft waters following his freshman season.
Molson becomes the second major departure on a Canisius team projected to be a MAAC contender next season, joining Isaiah Reese, who was suspended from the team in February and has since decided to take his talents to the professional level, as noted by a social media post this week. Canisius has yet to comment on Molson’s announcement.
More information will be posted as it becomes available.
