Men's Basketball Adds One
Dan Vandervieren to transfer to Colorado State from Purdue.
May 25, 2007 Colorado State men's basketball coach Tim Miles added another transfer to his roster on Friday with the addition of Dan Vandervieren from Purdue University. Vandervieren, a 6-10 forward/center played one season with the Boilermakers, where he averaged 1.7 points and 1.4 rebounds in just more than six minutes per contest. He scored a season-high 10 points on 5-for-5 shooting in a Purdue victory over Texas A&M Corpus Christi on Dec. 22, but missed the final 13 games of his freshman year due to injury, and will sit out of the 2007-08 season per NCAA transfer rules. Vandervieren is originally from Eden Prairie, Minn., where he attended Hopkins High School. In his final two seasons at Hopkins, Vandervieren led the team to a 60-3 record and two Minnesota Class 4A championships. He was selected as the 2006 Minnesota State Tournament MVP after averaging 13 points and 13 rebounds, en route to first team All-Conference honors. "The addition of Dan Vandervieren is critical to the success of CSU Basketball. He is a great kid and an excellent player," said Miles. "Dan is a center who plays with great tenacity and will provide us with a physical force in the paint. However, Dan's greatest asset is that he is a great teammate. He will fit perfectly and should have a huge impact as soon as he steps on the floor."
