There’s been no change in Kansas sophomore Silvio De Sousa’s playing status heading into the third game of the regular season — Friday’s NIT Tip-Off Classic preliminary round contest against Louisiana — KU coach Bill Self said Wednesday on his weekly Hawk Talk radio show.
De Sousa, a 6-foot-9 power forward from Angola, has been practicing but has been held out of two exhibition games and the first two regular-season games while both KU and the NCAA look into his eligibility.
De Sousa’s recruitment was discussed in a recent federal trial relating to corruption in college basketball.
