He's an ACC transfer.  Its Iona.  Who's going to get the rock more?  The 5th Plumlee?

Momo and Armand are going to dominate the ball, Laury will be the 3rd option come December. PMG said Pankey has a shin problem, might not be suited for the quick pace of Iona

Baldi you really think that Iona is THAT much more of an attractive option than Manhattan?  I don't know what the Jaspers have coming back, but I know people think their coach is going places.  I am sure that plus PT, etc, played a role.

Lol...  Iona still a mid-major dude, regardless of a decent regular season last year.

Oh I think Masiello is the best coach in the MAAC, hes going bigtime shortly. George Beamon is a player, could score with a nun. I love Rhamel Brown also.

The bar has been set for Baldi and this Iona staff. They missed on Rhoomes and Pankey, plan B Tobe Okafor still in play, if not Im ready to go with what we got. THis Juco Desean Anderson and David Laury are underrated and youll know their names soon enough

I guess Pankey didnt like that 25 point loss that Iona dropped on his watch

How come nobody is going after Majok Majok.   The kid was reportedly going to put Fairfield and Cooley in the MAAC drivers seat, now that he could be eligible coming out of JUCO nobody wants him?  I am surprised Grasso is not chasing him.

Great job by the Jaspers grabbing Pankey. My former co-worker Matt Grady is an ast at Manhattan so I want to see them do well.

“@JonRothstein: Manhattan still awaiting word from NCAA on waiver for Maryland transfer Ashton Pankey. Jaspers could dominate MAAC if they add the big man.”

Jaspers on the rise.....great coach and staff....

Complete joke this kid wasn't given waiver.

Transfer eligibility might be the next big scandal to hit the NCAA.   We've got investigators getting fired, decisions being renewed.  So we're learning the integrity and character of some of these "decision makers"  is a murky area.

How much money is it worth to say, an unnamed Oregon booster, to convince some lowly NCAA "investigator" to approve immediate  transfer eligibility for someone like Arsalan Kazemi to frontline depleted Oregon (Kasemi pulled down 10.3 rebs as a Rice Junior LAST season, is is saving Oregon's bacon with 9.4 per game THIS year after "immediate eligibility"....

This lack of transparency in these decisions stinks to high heaven.
