  • Drake Lands Former Boston College Starting PG

    Nice addition for Drake - Jordan Daniels. 5'8 PG who averaged 6.4 PPG (although only 35% FG) and started 25 games for an ACC team. Looks like he will have 3 years of eligibility.

    How does a 5'8" PG end up at any BCS school? He must have been pretty talented to get an ACC look. I'm guessing he'll have a very good Valley career.

      Yeah, but will he stay there if Phelps gets launched? Only time will tell.

        I guess this is just now news because Daniels has enrolled and Drake can acknowledge that - but this was discussed on message boards last month..

          Jordan Daniels played one year at Boston College then transferred and played the last 2 seasons at Drake. He graduated last spring, and now is attending graduate school at a small Division II school in California, where he'd like to play 1 more year. However, he is at the center of an eligibility case now being decided by the NCAA.
          Before his second season at Boston College, he participated in 2 preseason scrimmage games on a summer tour, because he was told by his coach and others at Boston College that playing in the scrimmages would not affect his eligibility if he chose to redshirt or transfer that season, which he did after the first semester.
          However, that advice was incorrect, and the NCAA now says he lost that year of eligilibity just for participating in those 2 preseason scrimmages. He has appealed to the NCAA asking for another year of eligibility, but no decision has come yet, leaving him in limbo. Even his former coach at BC has written a letter in support of him claiming he misinterpreted the rules.


          Technically, the NCAA rules do state that participation in preseason scrimmages constitute loss of eligibility for the entire year, however, the NCAA has allowed waivers for a number of previous players who have done the same thing.

            But this is a contradiction from what the NCAA ruled on Milton Doyle - who played several games on an exhibition tour with Kansas, then left and transferred to Loyola getting assurance that he retained all four years of eligibilty.
            They might argue that Doyle's situation is minimally different because it was Doyle's 1st year in college compared to Daniels' 2nd year - but come on....

            NCAA - this one should be a no-brainer that doesn't even take a millisecond of your time or trouble - give the kid another year - !!!!
