Roscoe Smith will redshirt this season after a request for a legislative relief waiver was denied by the NCAA.
Smith left Connecticut after they were banned from postseason play in 2013.
“We are disappointed for Roscoe and our team, but we understand and accept the decision,” UNLV coach Dave Rice said in a statement. “Roscoe brings tremendous experience from being a big part of a national championship team at UConn, and he is now a highly valued member of our program.”
