STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut says guards Jerome Dyson and Donnell Beverly have been cleared to play this season.

The school's compliance department gave the OK Friday after going over documents submitted by the two as part of a review of the basketball program. The school has not said what those documents were, only that they "pertained to their annual eligibility certification."

Dyson, a senior starter; Beverly, a junior reserve; and freshman Jamal Coombs-McDaniel were held out of the team's first exhibition game on Wednesday, a 106-67 win over American International College.

Coombs-McDaniel is awaiting clearance by the NCAA, which is reviewing his academic qualifications. He is allowed to practice with the team, but cannot play until he receives that permission.
