In a statement made via Twitter on Tuesday morning, Barney said:

“I want to start out by saying thank you to Wichita State and Coach Marshall for the opportunity to be a part of Wichita State. I have had an amazing 3 years of basketball and it has been a childhood dream of mine to be a Shocker basketball player. I appreciate all of the coaches and brothers that I have met during my time here. I have decided to transfer for the upcoming season and finish my playing career somewhere else. I want to thank all the fans and people that have supported me along the way. You guys are the greatest fans in the country! Thank you for a wonderful opportunity, Wichita.”
