Sophomore forward Matt Cimino will transfer out of the men’s basketball program, according to a tweet by CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein Friday afternoon.

Cimino was forced to redshirt his sophomore season after suffering a foot injury during practice just three games into the season.

As a freshman, the Falmouth, ME native averaged 0.2 points in just 2 minutes of play per game, shooting 36 percent on the year.

After high school, Cimino was given a 78 overall grade by ESPN and was the most highly touted player arriving in Foggy Bottom.

Cimino now becomes the third Colonial in about a month to announce an early departure from the team. Fellow sophomores Anthony Swan and Paul Jorgenson declared their intention to transfer early last month.

Only six players will return as Colonials at the start of next season.

The 6-foot-10 forward’s exit opens up even more room for incoming freshman Kevin Marfo and Arnaldo Toro to get valuable time in the front court.
