Drake just got better

Just got a transfer by the name of Kraidon Woods. Guy committed to Villanova out of HS. Ended up going to a prep school. Than went to Arizona State (Phelps ties) and now is going to Drake where he doesn't have to sit out a year. I may be missing part of the story but it sounds like a great get for them.

why wouldn't he have to sit out? Drake is D1 in basketball.

I wondered the same thing.

Anyway, he sounds like a nice get for Drake. He'll get a workout and a great education too. Grats to them.

Per Register:

Because of the circumstances in Binghamton, the NCAA granted Woods a waiver, meaning he won’t have to sit out another season.

Phelps appears to be a great recruiter. I am not sold on his game management skills yet. Hopefully he gets that nailed down and can win every game next year except one.

I liked his flexible style. It seems like he is going to be a decent fit there at Drake.

I'm always pulling for Drake, outside of that one game.

Illinois State? I am with you.

I'd rather Drake was good than UNI.

I have no problem with Drake getting better. Just not better than us. If there's a CCL this summer, there will be a chance to see him play. And Chris Babb.

Sounds like a nice get but everyone is getting better. I remember how we got better last year. That's when my fanhood was yelling at my tv.

**swarthmoreCY** · 05-20-2010, 11:47 PM

I prefer Drake is horrible.

I wouldn't mind if Drake never won a game again... Not that I cheer hard against them, but I got really annoyed when they had their good season (bad ending) a couple years ago.

The majority of UNI fans are Hawks.

I really enjoyed that great season a couple of years ago. They were due to be the story once.
