Highly touted Purdue freshman Caleb Swanigan has not been cleared to play by the NCAA, a source told Bleacher Report Monday.
Purdue coach Matt Painter confirmed the news when reached on his cellphone.
"We're still working through the process," Painter said. He declined to comment further.
According to the source, the NCAA is investigating the relationship between Swanigan and Roosevelt Barnes, a Purdue alum who adopted Swanigan in May of 2011, prior to his eighth-grade year.
At the time, Swanigan was 6'2", 360 pounds and living in a homeless shelter in Salt Lake City, Utah. His father, who was battling an extended substance abuse problem, was out of the picture, his mother was jobless and dependent on welfare checks and all five of his older siblings had dropped out of high school before earning their diplomas. Three of them had spent time in jail for charges including armed robbery, assault and theft.
