It doesn’t end his basketball career, but he will lose a year of eligibility and given how limited his role was with Rutgers his future will not likely be particularly promising!
He will still have 3 years of eligibility left. He has time.

Hopefully he does. I don’t know what issues he faces. Hopefully not mental health issues, which would not be in any way his fault, but could take several years to stabilize with medication. It is one of the reasons why I think the NCAAs five year eligibility rule that doesn’t take into account health issues is a terrible rule.

You have no idea what are his issues and how long it will take to get them under control. Just makes common sense to say something is wrong if someone is in their 8th year of college football like Mo Toure.

I thought it was reported that his mom has cancer?

This probably is the reason and ( hopefully I'm wrong) a downturn in his mom's health is the personal reason .

>It was well known within Rutgers basketball circles that Nwuli’s mother, who lives in the Las Vegas area, has been battling cancer, so he’ll likely stay in that area for the time being. Aggressive on both ends and embracing of defense, Nwuli seemed like a good fit for the Pirates and projected to contribute as a key part of the frontcourt rotation. <

Yeah exactly. Hopefully it’s not related to this, but there’s a good chance it is. Of course - this is the kind of thing that would happen to RU in any year other than the one where the spot is going to be fillable with a super senior impact player most teams no longer have roster space for.
