The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) discovered in a routine audit last week that James Sonneberg, a freshman from Chicago whom Snow officials thought spent last year as a "grayshirt" at Utah Valley State College, is ineligible because he didn't have a high enough grade-point average for a two-semester transfer student.
Sonneberg has played just 30 minutes and averaged 5.3 points a game in five of the six games Snow has statistics from.
It turns out, Sonneberg's grade-point average at UVSC was too low for a full-time student, but would have been high enough if he entered Snow as a part-time student.
