Van Vliet played in 17 games this season, averaging 7.7 minutes per contest. He averaged 3.4 points and 1.4 rebounds game in 2017-18.

A native of Belgium, Van Vliet appeared in 25 total games. He scored a career-high 18 points against South Carolina State in the season opener, but didn't play more than 20 minutes in any outings after Nov. 12.

Van Vliet's departure opens up another scholarship, potentially for another class of 2018 recruit or a graduate transfer for next season.
