Memphis guard Roburt Sallie plans to pursue basketball elsewhere after he receives his degree in August.

Sallie, a junior, will have one season of eligibility remaining after playing with the Tigers the past two seasons and at City College of San Francisco as a freshman.

The team said Tuesday that Sallie plans to spend his final year of eligibility at a college closer to his Sacramento, Calif., home or pursue professional basketball overseas. If he chooses another college, he will not have to sit out a season if he has already graduated.

Sallie made 21 starts in 70 games, averaging 8.2 points and 2.8 rebounds.
