Kevin Olekaibe remains unsure if he will be ruled eligible to play for his hometown UNLV Rebels this season by the NCAA after the senior guard, who led Fresno State in scoring two seasons ago, applied for a hardship waiver with his father gravely ill.
Olekaibe has been awaiting word since September as his father remains in hospice unable to speak or move his lower body.
The NCAA normally requires players who transfer to other Division I schools to sit out one season.
The 6-foot-2 Olekaibe averaged 17.8 points per game two seasons ago at Fresno State but saw his production drop to a career-low 8.3 points last season.
