But Matta said "the people we've spoken to said they had documentation" otherwise. "They say he's in good shape."
They were mistaken, at best.
Kecman, a 6-foot-8 sophomore signed to give the Buckeyes a three-point threat from the power forward position, will miss the first 12 games of the upcoming season after the NCAA ruled yesterday that some players on the club team indeed were professionals by its standards.
