TCU still hoping to get Noi on the court this season

TCU men’s basketball coach Jamie Dixon has started nine different players in the Horned Frogs’ 10 games this season and has used all 14 available players in multiple contests during the team’s 9-1 start.

But he’s still hoping to add a 15th player to this season’s rotation: forward Kouat Noi, a 6-foot-7 forward from Australia who has yet to play in any games while awaiting final approval from the NCAA Clearinghouse. Dixon acknowledged Noi, ranked as the No. 7 overall recruit among Australia’s 2016 college signees by AusaHoops.com, could be redshirted if he’s not cleared in the near future but stressed that is not a consideration today.

“We’re not there yet,” Dixon said.

TCU plays Sunday against Texas Southern at Schollmaier Arena (5 p.m., FSSW) and opens Big 12 play Dec. 30 against Kansas in Fort Worth.
