Kentucky fans hoping for an Enes Kanter decision before Christmas are likely to be disappointed. There’s no news on the eligibility status of the freshman center, and no indication that there will be a decision this week.

In an e-mail this morning, NCAA spokesman Chuck Wynne wrote: "The NCAA and the University of Kentucky continue to work this issue according to the established student-athlete reinstatement process. At this point, there is nothing new to report."

Kanter, a 6-foot-11 center was ruled permanently ineligible to play at UK due to $33,033 in benefits that exceeded his expenses received when he played for a pro club in his native Turkey. UK first appealed that decision, then submitted new information to the NCAA and is awaiting a new ruling based on that information.
