Ohio State recruit LaQuinton Ross was ruled academically ineligible by the NCAA and hopes to join the Buckeyes by December.
“He will be returning home [to Jackson, Miss.] to take a math class and an English class,” Wilson Arroyo, his former coach at Burlington (N.J.) Life Center, told SNY.tv. “Most likely he will take NCAA-approved on-line courses. He will also be studying to retake his SAT to improve his score.
“The plan is for him to take those courses and retake the SAT and/or ACT. Once he receives his eligibility he plans on returning to Ohio State in early December.”
The 6-foot-8, 225-pound forward originally chose Ohio State over West Virginia and Baylor.
The Buckeyes, who open practice Oct. 14, play their opener on Nov. 11 at home against Wright State.
