Louisville announces Matz Stockman is transferring to Minnesota

I guess this is one way to get around the self imposed scholarship restriction. Send your unwanted scholarship player down to Minnesota to make the numbers work.
Or just helping both the player and his son out. It's a win win for Rick
 
Not just that he's transferring, but that he's transferring to Minnesota. Sounds like he's being reassigned.

Well, you have to remember, technically, it looks as though Minnesota may have been the second highest bidder.

Just because the article was buried long ago, here it is again. I think it'll help connect the dots between Matz, Louisville and Minnesota.

The guy got 4 minutes a game as a junior and likely wouldn't have gotten much play next year either. Probably a case of Rick trying to help little Richard out by steering the guy there where he might have a chance to play 15 minutes as a senior.
 
Good find, I had forgotten all about that little deal.

This is one of my favorite parts of this.

"Pitino’s father Rick and Louisville had been involved in the Promosport/academy connection during a six-month period in 2013-14. Louisville signed 7-foot center Matz Stockman from the academy in November 2013, and then signed a $167,850 contract with Promosport in April 2014 for a trip to Spain."

Sounds legit.

I've seen cigar store Indians with more moves than this stiff :chairshot:
 
So Stockman gone, Mathiang gone, Hicks gone, and Mitchell projected in 1st round. But according to Pitino they aren't losing anyone.

Hahaha!!!!

Yeah, I loved when he said after the loss to Michigan, "we aren't losing anyone" or something to that effect. Sorry Mango, watch out for that bus!

I wonder if Promosport/academy has anyone on their coaching staff named "Mike"? LOL!
 
This is the only thing I can remember from his time with UofL

SEXtino thinks he's still in NBA when he could trade players what a dumb ass he recruited this turd and now needs his Scholarship it just gets better at Lil Brother :cool2::cool2:
 
Well, instead of just dumping Roderick Rhodes, now he's keeping his guys within the family.

You think there's Minardi Hall North there?

Possibly. Hopefully indoors.

I would hate for the squirts to freeze on the way to the ceiling.
 
Sounds like ol Matz is being reassigned to the northern front.
 
A U of L fan told me today VJ King was considering transferring. Anyone seen anything about that?
