St. Thomas seeks eligibility for guard Kendall Blue for upcoming season

St. Thomas announced Thursday that Kendall Blue will rejoin the men’s basketball program for the 2026-27 season. The guard, who spent last year at Nebraska, is pursuing a fifth year of eligibility through ongoing litigation regarding NCAA rules. Blue previously played for the Tommies from 2022 to 2025, where he averaged 12.3 points per game during his final campaign with the team. While the university plans to include him on the roster, his official eligibility status remains pending a future legal or administrative ruling. The team is scheduled to open its regular season schedule on November 2 against Presbyterian, though it is unclear if Blue will be cleared to participate by that date.
