Junior transfer Alan Griffin has been ruled immediately eligible for the 2020-21 Syracuse Orange men’s basketball season, according to Syracuse Athletics. Griffin was granted a waiver by the NCAA after transferring from Illinois in the spring.
“I’m very relieved to have that taken care of,” Griffin said. ”It’s something I’ve been looking forward to since I came to Syracuse.”
Originally from Ossining, N.Y., Griffin will have two years of college eligibility remaining. The 6-foot-5 wing averaged 8.9 points and 4.5 rebounds per game for the Illini last season. He shot 41.
