Blake Harris To Play For NC State This Season

When a player transfers they normally have to sit out a year.

However, that is not the case with guard Blake Harris who transferred from Missouri. Instead of sitting out he will suit up for NC State this season. 

Coach Kevin Keatts said Tuesday that the NCAA approved Harris' request to be immediately eligible. The point guard from Chapel Hill started nine of the 14 games he played last season for the Tigers before announcing in January that he would transfer.

When NC State announced his addition later that month, the school said he would be eligible in the spring semester of the upcoming school year.. "according to http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/24438525/ncaa-approves-waiver-missouri-transfer-blake-harris

Keatts also said freshman Manny Bates will redshirt this season after the power forward from Fayetteville had surgery earlier this month to repair a dislocated left shoulder.
