According to Adam Zagoria.

Caracter will likely have to sit a year after transferring and would then be eligible second semester of next year.

I’m trying to track down an official comment from the UTEP coaching staff, but haven’t heard back from them yet.

The 6-foot-9 Caracter, out of Fanwood, N.J., spent the last two years at Louisville and was suspended for a total of 17 games. He did not return for this season after repeated conflicts with head coach Rick Pitino over his weight and attitude.

Next week: German National Team.
