Kentucky freshman Nerlens Noel has been rule academically eligible to play during the 2012-13 season.

Here is more from CBSSports.com:

Kentucky freshman Nerlens Noel has been cleared academically by the NCAA.

Noel, the 6-foot-11 big man out of Massachusetts who is considered to be the prize of John Calipari's incoming recruiting class, said he received the news on Tuesday morning.

"Sandy Bell called me and woke me up," Noel told CBSSports.com on Wednesday afternoon. "She told me I was good to go. I knew I did it, but I was still nervous waiting on the official word."

There was some concern that Noel might not make it academically after deciding to return to his original graduating class of 2012. He took two classes at Everett High in July and received an A in English and a B-plus in history.

"I needed two B's," Noel said. "I never studied that hard in my life."

Well since the Enes situation, one could not be permantely ok with him not being ruled eligble just yet.

We heard Kanter was going to be ruled eligible and blah blah. It never came.
This is great news however.

I trusted Calipari, he said Noel would be fine.
