Kansas sophomore forward Silvio De Sousa will be held out of competition while an eligibility review is conducted, Jayhawks coach Bill Self announced Wednesday.
De Sousa and his recruitment have been discussed in a federal court case relating to corruption in college basketball.
“Information was presented during the current trial in New York — some of which we knew, some of which we didn’t,” Self said in a statement. “We have decided to withhold Silvio from competition until we can evaluate and understand the new information. We have already discussed trial developments with the NCAA and will continue to work with NCAA staff moving forward.
