East Carolina University men’s basketball head coach Jeff Lebo announced earlier today that sophomores Jeremy Sheppard and Raquan Wilkins have been suspended indefinitely from the program.
According to an announcement made by Lebo at a press conference Friday afternoon, the two sophomores were put on an indefinite suspension for a violation of athletics department policy.
The Pirates will be without Sheppard and Wilkins for ECU’s season opener Nov. 12 against Coppin State at home, and likely a few games into the season.
Sheppard, as a redshirt freshman, led the team in assists while working his way to a starting role midway through the season.
