Dayton coach Anthony Grant told WHIO’s Larry Hansgen in a pregame interview Weaver, a 6-foot-6 guard, was available. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll see action, but it means Grant has the option of playing him.
On Thursday, Grant said he did not know if Weaver would be able to play. He was waiting to hear something from the compliance department and said he would know in 24-48 hours. Whatever he was waiting to hear, he got the news Saturday.
