The Carlton Football Club has signed US basketballer Matt Korcheck as a Category B International Rookie.

Korcheck, who stands at 6”10 (208cm) and weighs 105kg, caught the eye of recruiters at a Florida screening camp in April this year. He was later invited to train with the Blues and spent three weeks at Ikon Park in August.

The 23-year old, who previously played Division 1 College Basketball for the Arizona Wildcats, hasn’t played much ‘Aussie Rules’ but Carlton’s GM List Management Stephen Silvagni says Korcheck has shown great potential.

208CM

Welcome to Carlton Matt.

 

[Gw2_James]

Oh wow nice. Look forward to seeing him dominate the ruck.

[branedotorg]

take that Warnock, you midget

 

[TeeJay Blue]

Welcome to Carlton Matt, hopefully sometime in the future you can become another success story like Jason Holmes.

 

[HARKER]

Mr. Korchek............Meet your coach, Mr. Bolton.

 

[Azul]

Welcome back, Arnold.

 

[BALKAN]

But can he run off half-back?

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Should be able to teach our guys to screen and block for each other....

 

[jezzzza]

I've seen footage of his days at University of Arizona, and the guy is an absolute freak of an athlete.

if he can pick the game up quickly, which I'd imagine with Bolton's track record for developing talent, he will, then we've signed a solid ruck that we could have for the next 10 years

List manager Stephen Silvagni described Korcheck as a "beast of an athlete".

...but we already have an explosive Beast

 

[AB_Blue]

Signs for Carlton, already better than Warnock......

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Timing is interesting, maybe Kreuzer has informed the club of his decision.

 

[ferrisb]

Obviously an amazing physical specimen, but remains to be seen if he can add elite skills to bring an extraordinarily tall player.

I suppose cripps proves it can be done

 

[Robbo's my hero]

I like that we now have two Matty Ks on our list. Let's keep it that way.

It has to be asked.

What do you give Matt Korcheck for breakfast?

Anything he ****ing wants.

A hug by the looks of the pic above .....

Welcome Matt, the 2nd tallest Bluebagger after Cripps

Not many rucks have elite skill.

So long as he can jump and catch its all he'll need to be better than a lot of afl listed rucks.

This signing actually excites me a fair bit! Probably just starved for real news

 

[Jabba73]

Welcome!

Hope you make more than just our club sit up and take notice.

 

[HBF]

Pre-season training will be a must now.

 

[DaVillaBlues]

First player named Korcheck in VFL/AFL history (I assume)

 

[JustaBattler]

I like him.

 

[Dramoth]

Welcome to Carlton Matt Korcheck. I am really looking forward to this guy getting a bit of a run around once he has grasped the concepts of the game.

And if we definitely retain the other Matty K, bye bye Robbie Warnock.
