The University of Dayton has announced that freshman Kostas Antetokounmpo will sit out during the 2016-17 season.
According to Dayton Flyers, the 6-foot-10 forward is prohibited from practicing with the team during the first semester after being ruled as a partial qualifier by the NCAA. He will retain four years of eligibility, beginning with next season.
Antetokounmpo is a 2016 graduate of Dominican High School in Whitefish Bay in Milwaukee, where his brother Giannis is playing for the Milwaukee Bucks.
The forward’s averages rest on 12.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game. He helped lead Dominican to an unprecedented fifth consecutive Wisconsin Division 4 state championship and was named First Team Division 4 All-State by the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association. Antetokounmpo was a consensus top 100 high school prospect (89 according to Rivals, 98 by Scout).
