Basketball recruit ineligible to play

Earl Watson an 6”7 Junior College transfer from Chipola College (FLA) has been ruled ineligble to play basketball for the Wichita State Shockers this season. Watson did not complete a math class during summer school at Chipola College, which and thus does not have the required number of hours to be admitted to WSU.

From Fort Pierce, Fla., Watson averaged 9.5 points and grabbed 6.4 rebounds for Chipola College. He was expected to be a significant contributor to the Shockers front court, after they lost Carl Hall and Ehimen Orukpe to graduation. Watson has yet disclosed his future plans.
