McClellan Appeals Ineligibility: Arizona forward Jawann McClellan yesterday appealed his academic ineligibility to the NCAA. Last month, McClellan was ruled ineligible for fall semester due to one summer school course that was incomplete, due to McClellan’s father’s illness and subsequent passing in June. The NCAA is expected to rule on the appeal November 8th, meaning McClellan could re-join the Wildcats for the EA Sports Maui Invitational on Nov. 21 if overturned. Otherwise, he’s out until December 17th against Utah. [11/02/05]
