Detroit Big Man Eli Holman On Leave Of Absence
University of Detroit - Mercy center Eli Holman has been placed on a leave of absence from the team, the school announced Tuesday evening.
Holman, one of the best big men in the mid-major ranks, averaged 11.8 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game last season for the Titans. He was one of five double-figure scorers for Detroit, which went 10-8 in the Horizon. Holman earned second team all-conference honors last season, as well as an all-defensive team nod. Expected to take another step forward this season, The Sporting News pegged him as the preseason Player of the Year in the conference.
