Syracuse G Devendorf gets extra year of eligibility

Sep 22, 2008 - 7:38 PM SYRACUSE, New York (Ticker) -- Syracuse guard Eric Devendorf has been given an additional year of athletic eligibility, the school announced Monday.

Devendorf, a key member of the basketball team who missed 25 of the Orange's 35 games last season with a knee injury, has been granted a hardship waiver by the Big East Conference.

The school applied on Devendorf's behalf after he suffered a torn ACL in a game last December against East Tennessee State and missed the rest of the season.

Devendorf started the first 10 games last season and averaged 17 points a game.

He also was a regular contributor during his freshman and sophomore years with the program and has accumulated 1,115 career points.

For the 2008-09 season, Devendorf will be classified as a senior academically and a junior in athletic eligibility.
