Purdue transfer Nojel Eastern won’t be heading to Michigan after all.
Eastern announced on social media on Wednesday that he won’t be joining the Wolverines next season because he wasn’t admitted into the university.
“I want to start off by thanking Coach Howard for the opportunity he would have given me by attending the University of Michigan. I was extremely excited and grateful for him taking a chance on me,” Eastern tweeted. “But, I was not admitted to the university because of many credits that weren’t transferable because of my major. That is the only reason why I was not accepted.
