Auburn basketball's Narcisse Ngoy cleared by NCAA for immediate eligibility
Narcisse Ngoy, who signed with Auburn basketball this offseason, has been cleared by the NCAA and made immediately eligible for the Tigers.
Auburn basketball has received clearance from the NCAA for 7-foot French center Narcisse Ngoy to immediately begin eligibility, according to head coach Steven Pearl's announcement on Thursday, October 8. The Tigers signed Ngoy this offseason, and he has two seasons of eligibility left. This is the first of three eligibility-related pieces of news the program is awaiting, as international signings Mantas Rubstavicius and Utah State transfer Kolby King are still awaiting clearance.
The NCAA recently altered its eligibility rules to a 5-for-5 model, requiring five years to play five seasons. Rubstavicius, a fifth-year player, had his case brought before the NCAA in June in Ohio. Ngoy, who played in the French Elite 2 League last year, averaged 10.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game, shooting 70% from the floor.
The Los Angeles Clippers drafted him in a summer draft-and-stash move. Adam Cole, the Auburn athletics beat writer for the Montgomery Advertiser, reported this story.
