per Marcus:
It was only a year ago that Stockman was with the Cardinals beginning his third season playing for Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino, who he still thanks for helping him mature as a player.
Since Pitino lost his job in wake of the FBI probe that uncovered it all, Stockman has kept in touch with former Louisville teammates.
“I try to talk to them almost every day,” Stockman said. “At first they were shocked. They didn’t know whether the player being suspended (Brian Bowen), if he was going to stay or had to leave, (and) who was going to be staying on the coaching staff. Now they’re back to playing basketball and having fun.”
In 2016, Stockman was part of the Louisville program that was banned from the postseason after the university self-imposed punishment following an escort sex scandal involving recruits. He said the Cardinals players are likely dealing with this situation the same way they did previously.
“We went through the whole (sex) scandal together,” he said. “I remember when that was going on we talked about this really sucks. But all we did was kept focusing on basketball. It didn’t really put us down too much. We just kept playing basketball and we had a good season.”
