OSU men's basketball: Questions linger over transfer's eligibility Thursday, May 8, 2008 3:33 AM By Bob Baptist THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH More than a week after two junior-college players committed to play men's basketball at Ohio State next season, the school announced yesterday that it has signed letters of intent from forward Nikola Kecman and guard Jeremie Simmons. How many games Kecman is available to play, though, will not be certain until the NCAA investigates whether a club team he played for two years ago in his native Serbia included professionals. "I'm not concerned about it," OSU coach Thad Matta said when asked about the possibility of losing Kecman for part or all of next season.

This eligibility question scares me a little. I do not think that the teams (clubs) over in Europe are totally honest when they fill out documentation regarding who played on what team. I would not be surprised to see Kecman ruled ineligible by the NCAA even though he did not take money but some of his teammates did. Maybe they would only rule him ineligible for part of the season is that became true but his juco coach in Arizona says that if he played on a team with professionals then they played their season last year for nothing. Just hope it does not become fact.

it is what it is. its a calculated risk anytime you take a euro these days. the rules have changed and im sured the staff did their homework. all they can do is look at information they find make a choice, submitt it to the ncaa and see if the ncaa has the same feeling.
this strikes home at theosu do to obrien and vladmir radonivich. the recruit that was ruled ineligible then got $6,000 and was the fire starter on the obie ordeal... |

Matta does not seem concerned.....I am sure they did they took a long look at Kecman before extending an offer.........

I am sure that the staff did their homework but I just did not trust the "club" teams over in Europe. I will be satisfied when the NCAA is satisfied.

From what I understand......the tOSU staff has done its homework and they are absolutely no worries about Kecman being suspended.......the NCAA takes their time on these types of cases....

Update is: nothing yet:
Monday, October 13, 2008 3:08 AM ? Ohio State has not received a ruling from the NCAA regarding the eligibility of junior-college transfer Nikola Kecman (pronounced KETS-man). The NCAA is investigating whether a club team Kecman played for in his native Serbia two years ago included professionals. Matta said he expects a ruling before the season.
