Report: Louisville excluded from Purdue grad transfer Matt Haarms' Top 10
Purdue graduate transfer Matt Haarms has decided his top ten schools with the University of Louisville men's basketball program failing to make the cut, according to ESPN's Jeff Borzello.
A surprise addition to the transfer portal, Haarms averaged 8.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game during his redshirt junior year with the Boilermakers. He declared his intention to transfer back on Apr. 6.
Originally from Amsterdam in the Netherlands, the 7-foot-3 center is considering Arizona, Arkansas, Boston College, BYU, Gonzaga, Kentucky, Memphis, Minnesota, Texas Tech, UNC Greensboro.
The news comes just one day removed from yet another graduate transfer big man spurning the Cardinals. Loyola Marymount's Mattias Markusson decided on Friday that he would be returning to LMU after Louisville had previously made his top four schools.
Louisville still has two scholarship spots to fill for the 2020-21 college basketball season. Prior to Jay Scrubb confirming that he will stay in the draft process and will forgo his time at Louisville to free up a scholarship, Chris Mack had stated that he is planning to use the final scholarship spot on a front court player and specifically a center.
As it stands right now, Malik Williams is the projected starter at the five spot for Louisville in 2020-21 with only Aidan Igiehon as his back-up
