Madsen Transferring From Vanderbilt 5/30/2006
Redshirt freshman Kyle Madsen is leaving the Vanderbilt basketball program, Commodore head coach Kevin Stallings announced Tuesday. “Kyle was treated wonderfully at Vanderbilt,” said Neil Madsen, Kyle’s father. “It is a great school and Coach Stallings and his staff are great people. Kyle simply wanted to get closer to home. That’s where the crux of his decision was made.” Madsen, a 6-10, 228-pound forward from Dublin, Ohio sat out the Commodores’ 2005-06 campaign as a redshirt. Listed as the top-ranked center in Ohio for the class of 2005, Madsen averaged 16.7 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.1 blocks while earning Ohio Capital Conference Player of the Year honors at Dublin Coffman High School. “We understand Kyle’s desire to be closer to home,” Stallings said. “He is an outstanding young man and we wish him nothing but the best.” Vanderbilt has granted Madsen releases to Miami-Ohio, Ohio University, Dayton, Xavier and Ohio State.
