Butler basketball's JaKobe Coles transferring to TCU

INDIANAPOLIS -- JaKobe Coles is headed back to Texas, and from one glutted college basketball roster to another.

The 6-7 forward from Denton, Texas, after one injury-shortened Butler season, is transferring to TCU. The announcement came days after Coles entered the transfer portal.

The Horned Frogs are coming off a 12-14 season, their first losing record in coach Jamie Dixon's five seasons since he took over at his alma mater. They finished eighth in the 10-team Big 12 Conference.

Coles is one of eight NCAA Division I transfers to land at TCU during the offseason.
