LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California freshmen Demetrius Wright and Jesse Scroggins still haven’t been rule eligible by the NCAA Clearinghouse.

Wright, a cornerback, and Scroggins, a quarterback, were allowed to practice with the team for 14 days while their paperwork was under review, but USC coach Lane Kiffin said after Friday morning’s practice that the two were sent home until they qualified.

Kiffin says he is “hopeful that will be resolved very quickly and we will be able to get them back.”

Kiffin said several other freshmen were cleared in the last three days.
