UK Seeks To Submit Additional Information Regarding Kanter
KENTUCKY....
The University of Kentucky has requested an "opportunity to submit additional information regarding the eligibility" of basketball recruit Enes Kanter, who was declared ineligible to play for UK by the NCAA last month. Kanter played with the Turkish sport club Fenerbahce from 2006-07 to 2008-09. Although he competed primarily for the club's under-18 junior team, he did compete on the club's senior team in 2008-09. According to facts agreed to by the university and the NCAA Eligibility Center, Kanter received $33,033 more than his expenses for the 2008-09 season. Kanter moved to the United States in 2009 and attended a prep high school before enrolling at Kentucky this fall. UK confirmed Friday that Kanter continues to practice with the team.
