Janae Jackson was a solid player during the three seasons she competed in the female basketball of Division I for northern Illinois and Youngstown State.
A 5 -inch 5 -inch guard of Detroit, Michigan, began in 26 of the 29 games in which he played as senior for the Pingüinos of the Youngstown state, with an average of 9.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 robberies per game while fired. She has just taken the 11th place among all the players of the Horizon League in Axle to Senior.
Jackson said multiple sources to SB Nation, entered the transfer portal last week. She is one of the more than 1,550 players to do so in women’s university basketball this season.
This is the strange thing that Jackson enters the portal: he graduated from Youngstown State in 2016.
Yes, Reaxly: Jackson, who has not played university basketball in nine years, has just entered the transfer portal.
Even the Youngstown State compliance employee who submitted his application to enter the portal had to recognize the rarity of his situation in an attached note to his entrance that, according to a direct access source to the portal, Lee Aiatrt. However, the student has requested to be admitted and the general advisor has guided the best course of action is to enter the student. “
The Jackson portal entrance also confirms its graduation date: May 7, 2016.
The number of players entering the male and female football transfer portal and football have reached thousands of each of the last years. But this season has brought an avalanche of players without any choosing choosing the portal. In male basketball, more than 150 players without choosing have entered.
What these players expect is that the Decision of Antimonopoolio settlement of the NCAA vs. NCAA forces NCAA to change its framework around the chosen one. Many players, or at least people advise them, believe that it is possible that the NCAA alters those rules following the camera agreement, or due to the multiple in progress that challenge the NCAA eligibility standards.
Clemson’s male basketball player, Ian Schieffelin, summed up his thinking in an X publication earlier this month: “While I am (chasing) my options at the professional level that I have advised, due to the pending cases of the NCAA, to enter all external ones.” “
For many players, with the advent of null and direct income sharing potentially on the horizon, money is the reason why one year of practicing university sports is seen. Another year of election could be another day of payment.
It is not clear what are Jackson’s exact motivations to entertain the transfer portal. She did not immediately respond to the request for comments of SB Nations. According to LinkedIn, he graduated from Youngstown State with a degree in Sociology and since then has worked in Enterprise, Fedex and a company called Inviolable Innovations, where she is the creative director.
But it could be possible for NCAA to review its case and determine that it has at least one year of eligibility. His long -standing guidelines for election were that the players were five years old to play four seasons of university sports. Jackson, however, only played three seasons in five years. The seasons he played were 2010-11, 2014-15 and 2015-16.
After spending his first season in northern Illinois, he transferred to the state of Youngstown and had to sit down the year what were the rules for university transfers. These days, players can transfer once and play immediately. If they transfer a second time as a graduate, they can also play immediately for their new school.
Jackson also did not play the following year, since an injury kept her on the sidelines for what would have the bone of the second year season of the red shirt. Once again, these days, NCAA or eligibility grant eligibility with little setback to players suffering from seasonal loan injuries. Sedona Prince is one of the recently examples that play the advantage of chosen railings that always change. He began his career in university basketball in Texas in 2018, he had a stop for several years in Oregon, and has just finished his game in TCU last season. Prince played four seasons in seven years.
While Jackson could be the only one north of 30 years in the portal, he is not the lonely female basketball player to enter him this season, there is no eligibility. Georgia Woolley, Senior by Syracuse, who has played in 121 games about four seasons, also entered the portal last week. Grace Cave, who averaged 16.5 points per game last season, is another notable player to enter the portal after playing four full seasons for Omaha. Another player without eligibility, but is in the portal anyway, Nyah Wilson, who has played in 103 games with three schools in four seasons.
According to multiple sources, there are about 20 female basketball players in the transfer portal that apparently have no eligibility that dates back.
