Over the past couple of weeks, the movement surrounding Kevin Olekaibe's appeal to the NCAA grew louder.
The senior guard left Fresno State in the spring to be closer to his father, who is in hospice and is unable to speak. Olekaibe transferred to UNLV and applied for an NCAA waiver in order to play immediately. The Runnin' Rebels were optimistic regarding a decision, but with just four days until the season tips off, no announcement had been made.
Until Monday night. The NCAA approved Olekaibe's waiver.
