Dwight Meikle - PF - Quality Education - Uniondale, N.Y. - HAMPTON

Expected.  I think this is good news for two reasons.  First, Meikle wasn't going to play next year and this opens up space for a player that can contribute immediately.  Second, I think this means something is IMMINENT.

According to dailypress.com, Hampton University has signed two recruits from Quality Education Academy in Winston-Salem, N.C., which went 26-4 in 2010-11 and finished the season ranked No. 1 in North Carolina and No. 25 in the country in MaxPreps' Freeman Rankings.

Dwight Meikle, a 6-8 forward/guard, and Keron Brown, a 6-5 shooting guard, have signed national letters of intent to join the Pirates next season.

Meikle, a New York native who averaged 15 points, eight rebounds and two blocks per game as a senior, committed to St. John's in November, but was granted a release from the Red Storm on Thursday.

Good for him. I'll be keeping tabs on his career via cbssports.com box scores.

Guess they didn't hear the news Meikle to Hampton

Technically you are not allowed to sign an NLI more then once in a 12 month period even with a release.  He probably simply sign grant in aid paperwork with Hampton.

Whatever happend to Meikle?   I know he commited to Hampton U after he was released by us, but never played.

I realize he projected as only an average player - but just one average (or even below average) D-1 player - especially a big, might have translated to a couple extra wins this past season with a SEVEN man rotation.

Who knows if he ever made it.   Kid had some issues.
