Now that the Maryland Terrapins have landed the commitment of former Xavier Musketeer Dez Wells, the program is expected to aggressively pursue a waiver of the NCAA mandate that requires a transfer to sit out two academic semesters. The waiver could be granted as it seems the incoming sophomore was wrongfully expelled from Xavier on Aug. 21.
Last season as a freshman, Wells averaged 9.8 points and 4.9 rebounds per game for the Musketeers. The production helped the 6'5, 215-pound guard earn a 2012 Atlantic-10 All-Rookie Team selection. If Wells played at Xavier this season, he would have entered the season as the team's leading returning scorer.
Regardless if Wells is granted a waiver or not, the sophomore will have three years of eligibility remaining.
