Another Canadian headed to the A-10 as 6-2 PG Marvin Binney of Toronto signs with Duquesne. Spent his freshman season at New Mexico Junior College, so will have 3 years with Dukes.
Updated to include VCU signees, which includes Rivals top 150 player Jordan Burgess.

Added Butler to the list, which includes ESPN top 100 player Kellen Dunham.

Added player for La Salle per this from Jeff Goodman. Definitely not your typical path to college hoops!
More bad news for X-Men.

And yet more bad news for Xavier as Jalen Reynolds joins Davis on the sidelines.
Per Zagoria, Davis to fight the NCAA.

Hurley brothers are getting it done as they pick up 4 players! Rhody Rams add 6-5 wing Alwayne Rigby and 6-8 PF Ifeanyi Onyekaba to this year’s squad. Former is a grad transfer from Northeastern and will play this season, though not sure if NCAA will clear the latter to play in 2012-13. [BTW, other two players (PG and SF) are commits for 2013-14.]

Jordan Burgess and Mo Alie-Cox are partial qualifiers, not playing this year for VCU. Burgess, a top 100 recruit can practice with team, Alie-Cox cannot.
[quote=“2k, post:29, topic:26657”]Jordan Burgess and Mo Alie-Cox are partial qualifiers, not playing this year for VCU.

Geez!
Xavier can’t catch a break, though at least this will only cost Philmore 3 games!

Per Zagoria, URI’s Ifeanyi Onyekaba has qualified per NCAA standards but still may have to sit out 2012-13. Dan Hurley has filed a waiver to get him eligible this year.

Meanwhile, have also read that the Bronx Rams are having eligibility issues of their own with Ryan Rhoomes, who is slated to start alongside Chris Gaston in the Fordham frountcourt.
Scholarship player-deficient Xavier grants 6-8 walk-on a “free ride” for this season, at least.
Good news for the Bronx Rams as their most heralded 2012 recruit if cleared to play!
Seems sort of odd that frosh Chris Harrison-Docks would leave before the season actually started, but he has. Sure, he wasn’t gonna get a whole lot of time at PG this season, but Clarke is a one-and-done and Hopkins is no longer with the team after being dismissed over the summer. Hmmm…
