The Lexington Herald has spoke to former compliance officer John Infante and he thinks that former Xavier standout Dez Wells will not be eligible to play this season.
[QUOTE][COLOR=#444444][FONT=Lucida Grande]Dez Wells is unlikely to play college basketball this season, according to a former compliance officer who has written extensively about NCAA eligibility issues.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#444444][FONT=Lucida Grande]John Infante, who runs the[URL=”http://www.ncaa.org/blog/bylaw-blog/”] NCAA’s Bylaw Blog[/URL], told the Herald-Leader on Thursday that Wells’ case did not meet the typical parameters the NCAA uses to grant immediate eligibility.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#444444][FONT=Lucida Grande]“I don’t think that’s in the cards,” Infante said. “Those waivers need to be a hardship outside of the athlete’s control. And that’s going to be a tough sell since he was expelled from school. That’s probably not going to be successful.”[/FONT][/COLOR]

Doesn’t sound like Wells will be a factor for this season, but the question is will Calipari still offer him for the 2013 season?
