Top Alabama recruit Kobie Eubanks not cleared by NCAA
Kobie Eubanks, Alabama’s top recruit in the 2015 class, won’t play for the Crimson Tide after he was not cleared by the NCAA.
Eubanks will not enroll at Alabama, Tide head coach Avery Johnson said in a statement on Wednesday.
“We are disappointed for Kobie and his family,” Johnson said. “Unfortunately, Kobie wasn’t cleared by the NCAA and we couldn’t get him admitted to the University of Alabama. He has a bright future and we wish him well.”
Eubanks, a 6'5" shooting guard who spent his last season at Elev8 Sports Institute in Delray Beach, Fla., decommitted from Baylor last November. He later committed to Alabama over offers from Kansas and a number of other schools. According to Rivals.com, Eubanks was the nation’s No. 101 player in the 2015 class.
