About MBB International Eligibility

Does anybody have any news/updates about eligibility for the committed international basketball players? Are we awaiting court decisions for their eligibility?

Man, I thought you were providing info on this. Need to change the thread title, please.
Only thing I've seen on it is that all are expected to be eligible. There really wasn't an explanation other than that.

The NCAA hasn't been in any hurry to clear players using the updated guidance issued in May. Based on the new guidance:
Ruzik will be cleared at some point.
Niang just recently transitioned from developmental leagues to pro status. So, he has a lower hurdle to clear.
Santos and Dessert are questionable because they have had numerous seasons with contracts above the "actual and necessary expenses" compensation level, which could make them ineligible under the new guidance.
The NCAA hasn't ruled on anyone under the new guidance, so it's unclear how strictly it will enforce the "actual and necessary expenses" clause. They have dug in on 5-for-5 with a recent statement, and I would expect them to take a hardline stance on the new international guidance.
International student orientation at LSU is in two weeks. Classes start in less than a month, and practices start on the 29th. At this point, you would want your team on campus participating in offseason workouts.

Maybe he has? However, that doesn't relate to his clearance status. Also, it's recently been reported in the Euro press that his buyout has not been paid, but that is to be expected since he hasn't received a status update from the NCAA.
