    CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Martin Iti is leaving Charlotte after two disappointing seasons with the 49ers.
    The seven-foot center entered the 49ers program with high expectations, but averaged just five points and four rebounds last season. Iti flirted with entering the N-B-A draft after his first year, but returned to Charlotte because he didn't hire an agent.
    Iti says he enjoyed his time with the 49ers, but says things just didn't work out.

    Source? I see that it says AP, but there's nothing out there about it.

    Or is this satire? I don't think the AP stylebook uses "N-B-A".

    No, it's real. I pulled it from the AP sports wire.

    Proof that today is a REALLY slow news day!

    May 3, 2005

    Charlotte, N.C. - Charlotte 49ers head men's basketball coach Bobby Lutz has announced that sophomore center Martin Iti has decided to withdraw from the team and plans to transfer from the university.

    "We appreciate all the contributions that Martin provided in his two years at Charlotte," Lutz said. "He has been a very good teammate and will be missed. We wish Martin the very best in his future endeavors and we'll follow his career."

    "I enjoyed my time and had a good experience," Iti said of his decision. "Things just didn't work out."

    At this time, Iti has not identified what school he will transfer to.

    Iti was the 49ers starting center on this past year's 21-8 team that advanced to the NCAA Tournament. He started 27 of the 29 games, averaging 5.0 points and 4.0 rebounds while shooting .512 from the floor. He averaged 18.2 minutes played and led the team with 48 blocked shots and 38 dunks. He was a Conference USA all-freshman selection in his first season.
