Big time ball can be rough.
Rick Pitino, oversigning and some more ramblings about transfers
QUOTE:
For the second time in the past two months, Rick Pitino has urged one of his upperclassmen to transfer in an effort to get them more playing time.
Back in April, Jared Swopshire officially announced that he would be transferring to Northwestern where he would be allowed to play immediately (graduate transfer waivers and all). The reason given by Pitino for urging the move? He “would love for Swopshire play 32 minutes somewhere else than 10 minutes here.”
And on Wednesday, rising senior Stephen Van Treese officially announced that he would be leaving the Louisville program, ending speculation as to how the Cardinals would solve their scholarship problem with the addition of freshman Montrezl Harrell. But, as Van Treese told the Indy Star, the explanation given to Van Treese was differnt. “(Pitino) said he felt like I need to go somewhere and play and get 30 minutes a game,” he said. “That wasn’t going to happen here.”
The scholarship situation always works itself out.
