Josh Selby, Kansas still waiting on NCAA decision

The college career of former Lake Clifton point guard Josh Selby remains in limbo.

Kansas coach Bill Self released a statement Wednesday addressing the status of Selby, The Baltimore Sun's 2009-10 Varsity Male Athlete of the Year.

“Josh’s status for competition hasn’t changed. While he has met NCAA academic requirements to be on aid, practice and compete this year, we continue to work with the NCAA as we review his amateur status. We will not play Josh in games until that process is complete and a decision is rendered.

“We support and respect the process, and hope that it is over sooner rather than later. But we don’t expect a decision on this before the regular season begins. We will not comment further until the process is complete.”
