Herring returning to Baylor

WACO, Texas – Corey Herring, s seldom-used guard last season, has returned to Baylor with a basketball scholarship.

New coach Scott Drew said Friday the school’s internal committee looking into allegations of NCAA violations informed him that Herring was eligible to return on scholarship.

Drew said when he took over as coach in late August after Dave Bliss resigned that the committee told him of only seven returning scholarship players. Herring’s return makes eight.

The committee has found that Bliss arranged to have tuition payments made for Patrick Dennehy and another player, then plotted a cover-up. The committee has not revealed the name of the second player.

Baylor has declined to comment on how Herring’s tuition was paid last season. However, his mother and a former high school coach both have said Herring thought he was on a full scholarship.

The scandal came to light after Dennehy disappeared in mid-June. His body was found July 25 in Waco, and former teammate Carlton Dotson has been indicted on a murder charge.

Herring, a 6-foot-4 sophomore from Buffalo, N.Y., does not wish to comment, Baylor spokesman Heath Nielson said.

Herring enrolled in classes before the Sept. 12 deadline, Drew said, and he rejoined the team for offseason workouts Monday.
