Summer is the time when we see most college freshmen go through the NCAA clearinghouse and get cleared.
The Kentucky Wildcats annually have a host of new players coming in, all of which have to make it through the NCAA before being fully cleared for the upcoming season.
Nick Richards is no different, and it sounds like he’s just now been cleared by the NCAA, according to CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein.
