Kansas fans couldn’t hide their excitement when PG, Josh Selby, (Video) announced his intentions to attend the University of Kansas on live television during the first half of the Jordan Brands Classic in New York City. Selby, who some consider to be the top player in the 2010 class, is just the type of difference-maker the Jayhawks need to be considered a title contender after losing star players, Sherron Collins, Xavier Henry and Cole Aldrich after last season.
The excitement that resulted from Selby’s announcement (Crazy fan reaction) back in April quickly turned to worry shortly before classes began at Kansas in late August after it became known that the NCAA still needed to clear Selby to attend and play at Kansas. After a few weeks of waiting for news on Selby’s eligibility, the end is finally here.
Multiple sources have informed TheShiver.com that Josh Selby has been cleared to practice by the NCAA, and it could be announced as early as Tuesday.
According to sources on Sunday afternoon- Selby has been cleared academically, allowing him to immediately start attending class at Kansas when school begins on Tuesday. However, Selby has yet to be cleared in regards to his amateur status. This means that Selby is not allowed to participate in any team activities until his amateur status has been cleared.
TheShiver.com will update this story as it continues to develop.
