Memphis coach John Calipari confirmed to me during Thursday’s NBA Draft that Paterson, N.J. native Hashim “Big City” Bailey would transfer to UMass.
Derek Kellogg, a former Calipari assistant, is the new head coach at UMass.
The 6-foot-10, 270-pound Bailey has played in just nine games in two years, averaging 1.1 points and 0.9 rebounds He has two blocked shots and one steal. He played his high school ball at Passaic County Tech in Wayne, N.J. and then prepped under Chris Chaney at The Patterson (N.C.) School.
