Kevin Ware will transfer from the University of Louisville to finish his college basketball career at another school.

"We wish Kevin Godspeed," Rick Pitino said.

Ware gained national attention last season after suffering a gruesome broken leg in the Elite Eight.

Ware averaged 1.7 points in nine games this season and sustained an injury to the same leg.

Ware hopes to transfer somewhere close to his family and is considering Auburn and Georgia State. He once committed to Bruce Pearl at Tennessee.
