Thomas Kithier, the Clarkston basketball transfer who is committed to Michigan State, has been ruled ineligible by the Michigan High School Athletic Association and won’t play this season for the Wolves.
A 6-foot-9 forward, Kithier enrolled at Clarkston before the school year began after playing his first three seasons at Macomb Dakota.
Clarkston Community Schools said in a news release Thursday the MHSAA found the Kithier family was in violation of the association’s athletic-motivated transfer rule.
