Luis Jr.'s College Return Raises NCAA Questions

Former St. John's standout RJ Luis Jr., the 2025 Big East Player of the Year, is reportedly committing to LSU after professional stints with the Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics. Luis averaged 18.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game before entering the NBA Draft, going undrafted, and signing contracts before being waived due to injuries.

Luis's return raises NCAA eligibility questions, as the organization has ruled that players who sign NBA contracts are ineligible to return to college. This echoes the situation of former Alabama center Charles Bediako, who briefly played five games before a judge ended his eligibility in a similar case. sport-ipl.my
