Walk on Chris Larson is transferring to St. Cloud State

[uostudent]

Some on here suggested that Altman may give Larson a scholarship. I disagreed. The guy is really tall and may be able to block shots, but I don't think he's a D1 caliber scholarship player.

I'm assuming that St. Cloud State is going to give him a scholarship. Finances may have come into play for Larson.

The estimated cost of attendance for an out of state student at UO is $41k.

SCSU Basketball Signs 6’11 Center

The St. Cloud State men’s basketball team signed 6’11 230 pound center Chris Larson from Hudson, Iowa. Larson is a transfer from the University of Oregon where he was a reshirt junior in the Ducks basketball program. Prior to playing at Oregon he played two seasons at Black Hawk Community College in Moline, Illinois where in his last season there averaged 6.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.4 blocks a game.

St. Cloud State has a need for a big man after losing center Tim Bergstrasser to a serious knee injury and the transfer of 6’8 center Mike Rostampour. The SCSU basketball team was 20-9 in 2011-2012.

Sucks to lose someone who could fill some space down low, but Altman still hasn't really replaced the post depth that was lost with Olu, Nared, and Jacob.

I imagine he contributed to the practice squad.
