    Kansas coach Bill Self announced Wednesday that the NCAA has cleared star freshman Josh Selby academically, but that his amateurism status is under review.

    “Josh’s status for competition hasn’t changed,” Self said in a statement. “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.

    Having already landed the top New York City player in the Class of 2011 in Maurice Harkless, St. John’s has now gotten a verbal pledge from the best 2012 player in the Big Apple, point guard Jevon Thomas.

    Thomas, the No. 14 point guard in the Class of 2012 per Rivals, called Johnnies head coach Steve Lavin Tuesday night to commit.

    Asked what he liked about the Johnnies, the 6-foot, 175-pound Thomas said by text, “Coaching staff and I’m just trying to bring NYC basketball back!!”

    He also had interest from Washington, Villanova, Syracuse, Wake Forest and West Virginia,

    “Jevon will bring back that electric energy and fire back to the Garden and New York,” said Casey Williams, Thomas’ AAU coach.

    “He’s a great leader on the court and he’s a New Yorker. He will bring lots of fire and the will to win.”
