California freshman guard Gary Franklin has decided to leave and transfer to a different school, head coach Mike Montgomery announced Wednesday.

"Gary Franklin informed us [Tuesday] morning that he was interested in transferring and he has left the team," Montgomery said. "We wish Gary well. We're disappointed, but we wish him well."

Through 13 games this season, 11 of which he started, Franklin was fifth on the team in scoring, averaging 8.2 points per game.
