Eric Norman Confirmed Eligible Immediately for Montana State

Last month, Montana State signed SMU transfer forward Eric Norman, and the thought was that he would be eligible to play right away, because (from all accounts), he was essentially cut by new SMU coach Larry Brown.

That was confirmed earlier this week, as Gidal Kaiser reports that Montana State head coach Brad Huse found out late last week and announced on Tuesday that Norman would indeed be eligible to play immediately.

“That was our hope,” Huse said of the ruling, “and it worked out well to have Eric in a situation where he’s able to play this year. It gives us a lot of depth on the front line.”

Montana State will certainly have options up front, as they have eight forwards and ten frontcourt players on the roster for next season.
