NEWARK — The Delaware men’s basketball program has lost one big man but picked up another.

Andrew Carr, the 6-foot-9 forward who was one of the Blue Hens’ top players on their run to the NCAA Tournament, has announced that he’s transferring to Wake Forest.

On the other hand, Houston Emory — a 6-foot-10, 190-pound forward from Philadelphia — announced that he’s signing with Delaware.

Carr is a big loss for the Hens. He came into his own over the last month or two of the season, earning All-CAA Tournament honors as Delaware won the league tourney.

He was expected to play a big role going forward, along with Jyare Davis and Jameer Nelson, Jr.

“Big thank you to my teammates, friends, and family who have helped me along the way as well as the entire Delaware Staff. Can’t wait to see what the future holds!” Carr wrote on Twitter alongside photos of him in a Wake Forest uniform.

Carr, whose father and uncle both played at Delaware, collected 17 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks in the Hens’ win over UNCW in the CAA finals. He then added 13 points, going 5-for-5 from the floor, in the NCAA’s against Villanova.

Emory played at the Blue Ridge School, a boarding school in Virginia. As a senior he averaged 7.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game.
