Last season’s starting forward Andrew Oliver is not attending IU during the spring semester, IU Coach Todd Yeagley said after IU’s scrimmage Friday.
The would-be junior scored four goals last season and recorded one assist while playing in all 22 of IU’s matches, starting in 21 of them.
“He’s trying to get a few things squared away, but we certainly hope in the future that he will be back with us,” Yeagley said.
Yeagley would not go into specifics as to why Oliver was no longer at school.
The Indianapolis native and Southport High School graduate is a former member of the U-17 men’s national team, where he won the Golden Boot at the CONCACAF Championships in 2011.
Oliver was unable to play in the U-17 World Cup, however, because he was suspended from the U-17 Residency Program in ?Bradenton, Fla. for disciplinary problems.
Oliver has been removed from the roster on ?iuhoosiers.com.
Yeagley said he remains hopeful Oliver will return to the team in time for the 2015 season, but that it is still ?uncertain.
“That’s not to be determined yet,” Yeagley said. “We’re still waiting to see what’s going to happen with Andrew.”
