"We expect it could happen as soon as tomorrow or in the next week," Alabama-based attorney Don Jackson told FOXSports.com. "We've given the NCAA everything they've asked for."

One of the most talented freshmen in the country, the 6-foot-9 Sidney has been under investigation by the NCAA due to potential amateurism issues.

However, Jackson said that his client should be cleared if the NCAA hasn't found any wrongdoing as part of the investigation.

"The bottom line is there's been no violation," Jackson said.

Jackson maintained that the family has turned over bank deposits and more than 2,000 pieces of documentation to the NCAA in an effort to get Sidney cleared so he can play the season opener for Mississippi State on Nov. 13 at home against Rider.
