Here's another hit for Florida State. The NCAA has ruled freshmen Baba Miller out for the first 16 games of the season. He was paid to travel from his native Spain to the US for a basketball event before his recruitment to FSU. When his family found out this was a violation of recruiting policies, they immediately repaid the people that paid for the flights. The NCAA decided they don't care and slapped Miller with a ban for about half the season.
Duke hosts FSU on December 31st. If the ban remains, they will be without two of their most important frontcourt players in Jaylin Gainey and Baba Miller.
