NORFOLK, Va. – The NCAA granted Dajour Dickens’ a Legislative Relief Waiver on Tuesday afternoon, allowing the 7-foot Providence transfer to be eligible for the 2018-19 season for the Monarchs.
“We appreciate the NCAA’s consideration and prompt response,” said ODU head coach Jeff Jones. “Needless to say, we are extremely pleased with their decision. We are also grateful to Providence College for their cooperation. Coach Ed Cooley and his staff have been extremely supportive of Dajour throughout the entire process.”
Dickens attended Bethel High School in Hampton, Va. and played for Coach Craig Brehon, where he averaged 20 points and 15 rebounds per game as a senior in 2017 and was named Bruins’ team MVP in both 2016 and 2017.
