Do we know if his enrollment in JC was due to opting out of his NLI or grades? If it was due to opting out of the NLI, would he be able to enroll next year and have three years of eligibility left.

A.J. Riley is now in his 2nd year at John Logan CC (he played in 30 games for them last year), so even if he had been a qualifier out of high school, he used up 2 years of eligibility at the juco level, and would have just 2 years of eligiblity left at a 4-year school.

The guard then knocked down a pair of free throws in the final five seconds to seal the win. Norman finished with five points and two assists.
Junior A.J. Riley has been suspended indefinitely by the Eastern men’s basketball team after he was arrested Wednesday. The Charleston Police Department arrested Riley on an in-state warrant. He was charged with the unlawful delivery of cannabis and was released to the custody of the Coles County Sheriff’s Office pending 10 percent of a $7,500...
