Dyshawn Pierre, Dayton's leading returning scorer and rebounder, has been suspended by the school for the fall semester, a source close to the situation told ESPN.

Pierre is expected to miss the first 10 games of the season. He will likely be eligible to return Dec. 22 against Miami (Ohio).

Dayton said in a statement that Pierre is not enrolled at the university for the fall and added that it would not discuss the topic further, citing federal privacy laws.

The 6-foot-6 senior averaged 12.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game last season for a Flyers team that won 27 games and lost to Oklahoma in the round of 32 in the NCAA tournament.

Dayton lost Jordan Sibert to graduation, but coach Archie Miller returns three starters -- Kendall Pollard, Scoochie Smith and Kyle Davis -- to a team that is expected to contend for the A-10 title.
