The University of Kentucky's newest jewel, freshman Skal Labissiere, still has not been cleared to play by the NCAA, according to Gary Parrish of CBSSports.com on Wednesday.
What's holding him back from joining the Wildcats is an investigation on how his guardian, Gerald Hamilton, acted during Labissiere's time at Lausanne Collegiate High School in Memphis, Tennessee.
Parrish reported back in November of 2014 that Hamilton asked longtime AAU coach Keith Easterwood how he could profit off of a basketball player, one of numerous "red flags" that prompted the inquiry.
Labissiere, a Haitian refugee, was the second-best prospect in the nation to come out of the class of 2015 according to 247Sports' composite rankings.
