Arr me hearties! Two brave lads from St. John's be settin' sail for court to swashbuckle for another year on the court. They be claimin' they deserve it for missin' out on battle last season. Aye, may the winds of justice be in their favor!
In a tale fit for the high seas, two college basketball buccaneers, Chris Ledlum and Jordan Dingle, have set sail on a legal adventure to claim an extra year of NCAA eligibility. These swashbucklers, who previously sailed the Ivy League waters before docking at St. John's, found themselves marooned when the Ivy League season was canceled in 2020-21 due to the dreaded pandemic.Arrr, but their plea for a fifth year was denied by the NCAA, forcing them to take their case to the Queens Supreme Court in New York. The scallywags argue that they be suffering "irreparable harm" by being denied the extra year that be granted to many other athletes."If I got another year I don’t see any reason I wouldn’t want to be here," Ledlum declared, while Dingle shared his love for New York and his desire to continue his journey with the St. John's crew.Despite declaring for the NBA Draft in the face of their denied waivers, these bold warriors have until the next month to decide their fate. Will they be granted the extra year they seek, or will they be forced to set sail for new horizons? Only time will tell in this tale of NCAA eligibility and the pursuit of higher education riches.
