Yesterday we told you that freshman center Omer Yurtseven was given a 9 game suspension, but was ultimately cleared by the NCAA. This was kind of bittersweet news for Gottfried and company. The good news is that Yurt will be back by ACC play, but the bad news is that the kid needs to miss 9 games of what might be his only season in Raleigh (he’s projected to go in the 2017 draft). We wanted to give you a feel of what people around college basketball are saying about the ruling.
NC State thankful but still disappointed
“The NCAA conducted a thoughtful analysis of Omer’s situation,” said NC State Director of Athletics Debbie Yow.
