DURHAM, North Carolina -- Another team’s turnover with its Academic Progress Rate could dish an assist to N.C. Central.
Nimrod Hilliard, the leading scorer for Lamar University last season, has used Twitter to say goodbye to that school and announce that he’s ready to get in on what NCCU had going last year when the Eagles went 28-6 and made it to the NCAA Tournament for the first time.
Neither NCCU nor Lamar has announced that Hilliard has transferred, but he could be eligible to play right away if he has.
Student-athletes transferring from one Division I school to another generally are required to miss a season per NCAA rules, but that doesn’t apply if a transfer is leaving a school an unacceptable APR and the player has just one season of eligibility remaining.
