Norvele Pelle wanted to play at Iona and for Mr. Cluess. If he did not want to then why commit to don the Maroon and Gold? Hopefully his situation with the NCAA clears up and he can suit up for Iona for the 2013-14 Season. Just think Pelle,English,Sledge,Laury and Armand. With Bowman and Ellis off the bench. Tim Cluess and his staff know what they are doing and what players fit the system and have the potential of making some noise along the way. If they ever play defense this staff and their team(s) can be magical. Pelle would be great for Iona let's just hope that the NCAA figures everything out and keep our fingers crossed. Let's Go Gaels!

dante, do you know what the kid is doing now? Is he taking any classes in LA? Trying to improve himself academically in some way? Or, is he just waiting for the decision from the Wizards of OZ?

Don't know if this applies to Pelle, but Zagsblog is now reporting that Sanchez, formerly of Monroe JC, was ruled Ineligible by the NCAA back in November. Since that time he was also turned down on appeal. St. John's supposedly is reporting that they are still collecting documents for another appeal. A few weeks ago the same Blog reported that Sanchez (along with Pelle) still hadn't heard from the NCAA.

Just wondering...I understand that this issue is probably dead, but has anybody seen any reports on Pelle. He cant be at a juco or playing overseas becase hat would have been reported. he seems to have just vanished..even his twitter account. very strange situation. it is ashame it did not work out at Iona because it could have been a magical season. But more importantly hope Pelle is ok. what a waste of talent

He wanted to play in NY, at Iona and wanted the "College experience".... maybe he will be in uniform next season in New Rochelle. He seems like a good kid so I wish him the best no matter where he ends up.

Back when the news first broke, I posted this on September 2, 2012:
I read the news that he would not be coming on September 10, 2012 (my 61st birthday). I took the disappointment in stride as I refuse to get excited about NP as a Gael until I see him in uniform.
NP becoming a Gael is still a hope -- but a hope, only.
Let's take care of business with Manhattan today.
Go Gaels!!!

I wouldn't count on seeing Jackson much more, if at all moving forward. Laury, Taaj, Diggs and Anderson are all going to have to step up and be "big" for us the rest of the way.
If Taaj keeps his level of play as high as its been lately we will be just fine. And we know DLIII will do nothing but improve as the season moves along.
