Jalen Cook - Denied eligibility waiver Cook (not injury related) was denied an eligibility waiver for Louisiana State's 2023-24 season, according to the team.
Impact Cook transferred out of and back into Louisiana State, resulting in his need for an eligibility waiver, which the NCAA refused to give. LSU's basketball program has submitted additional information for the NCAA to re-consider and is waiting for a new ruling. But as it currently stands, with less than one week to go before the 2023-24 Tigers' season opener, Cook cannot participate in their upcoming campaign. Cook's absence would be a damaging hit for the Tigers, who struggled last season and brought him as someone to help boost their offense. He averaged 19.9 points and 4.9 assists across his 26 games (24 started) during Tulane's 2022-23 season.
