Star UNLV freshman OK to play

Few things excite a fan base like the addition of an elite, top-10 recruit; freshmen of that caliber cause widespread epidemics of optimism. They are rebirth personified. But few things can be more deflating for a fan base than learning that such a player, despite all his talent on the court, isn't eligible off it. The NCAA clearinghouse says the player doesn't have the grades or the courses or the academic standards required to compete, and the player goes on the shelf for up to a year, a "partial qualifier" who can practice and get started on studies but can't actually, you know, play basketball.
