Miikka Muurinen awaits NCAA eligibility for University of Arkansas
Finnish basketball prospect Miikka Muurinen is still awaiting eligibility approval from the NCAA to play for the University of Arkansas. The delay is linked to his previous professional experience playing for the Serbian club Partizan.
While Muurinen cannot participate in official games yet, he is permitted to practice with the team. Arkansas head coach John Calipari noted that the NCAA is currently prioritizing eligibility reviews for football and other fall sports, meaning basketball players may face longer wait times. Calipari expressed confidence that the situation would be resolved before the season begins on November 8.
