Matt Pilgrim will be able to join his Oklahoma State teammates for the 2009-10 season after the NCAA granted him a waiver Aug. 21, according to a university release.
The 6-8 forward averaged 9.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in his two years at Hamptom College from 2006-08. He transferred to Kentucky for 2008-09 but sat out the season because of NCAA rules.
Cowboys head coach Travis Ford was thrilled after learning of the ruling that will allow Pilgrim to play without sitting out another season following his latest transfer.
“We are excited that Matt will be able to be a part of the program this season,” Ford said. “He will make an immediate impact on this team with both his abilities and his experience. He will make us a better team and brings a toughness with him.”
