Basketball freshman forward Jack Purchase will transfer

Australian native Jack Purchase will transfer from Auburn, according to AuburnSports.com

Purchase was one of the last signees in the Auburn basketball era under the leadership of Tony Barbee. 

The 6-foot-8 forward was recruited from Melbourne, Australia, in September 2013, and at his time at Auburn he contributed a total of nine points with 21.4 percent shooting. 

Purchase was a member of the popular White Caboose alongside Patrick Keim and Alex Thompson, who left the program in April for Samford. The name is supposed to represent the three who took the bench for most of their careers under Bruce Pearl. 

"Well we had a good run," The White Caboose tweeted today. "To the fans, we love you and appreciate the support. Without you we are nothing. May the legend of the boose never die."
