Vilde transfer

Postby Treadway21 » Mon Aug 19, 2013 12:01 pm

This may be common knowledge, but Vilde announced he is going to Houston Baptist:

Hopefully he does well down there. He's got two years of eligibility. Good luck to him.

It frees up money for SMU, but not a basketball scholarship.

Wasn't it already taken when we released him?

No. When LB cleaned house, they got to keep their scholarships. They just couldn't be on the team anymore.

The way I understood it is that they kept their scholarships, but were no longer considered basketball scholarships. They became academic/miscelaneous scholarships.

He's one guy I thought LB might keep in his first year, if only for rebounds and 5 hard fouls. Either way, history can't be rewritten, so thanks to Vilde for his time at SMU, and good luck at Houston Baptist!
