SMU’s star shooting guard Keith Frazier was ruled academically eligible by the NCAA for the upcoming 2015-2016 season.
This is big news for the reigning American Athletic Conference regular-season and tournament champion Mustangs, who will need all the scoring power they can get following the graduation of Yanick Moreira and Ryan Manuel.
Frazier averaged 10.5 points per game last season before being sidelined in mid-January because of an NCAA investigation into the program.
He will start alongside last season’s AAC Player of the Year Nic Moore as part of SMU’s showcase backcourt. The team will look to build on last year’s success and make a second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.
