Almansa’s Eligibility in the Crosshairs | Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball News
Description
College athletes who jumped to pro leagues are now facing new NCAA restrictions — the SEC just banned players who declared for the NBA, NFL, or WNBA draft without withdrawing or signing with a pro team. This move, sparked by a legal injunction allowing one player to return to LSU, could ripple across conferences, with the Pac-12 reportedly considering similar rules — putting Gonzaga’s top recruit Izan Almansa in serious eligibility limbo. Almansa, who played in the G-League last season, may be blocked from playing for the Bulldogs if the Pac-12 follows suit. Meanwhile, other Gonzaga targets like Xaivian Lee remain unaffected since they didn’t sign pro contracts. The NCAA, conferences, and courts are all tangled in this evolving eligibility mess — and the 2024 roster battles are just beginning.
