Further Fordham Exodus

According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Fordham freshman Jio Fontan is leaving the Rams, despite the fact the university refuses to grant him a release from his letter-of-intent. Fordham has already granted releases to Mike Moore, who ended up at Hofstra, and Trey Blue, who transferred to Illinois State. The source says that Fontan is willing to transfer without a release, meaning he will have to play a season without a scholarship at his next destination.

Additionally, a third member of the Rams, freshman forward Lamar Thomas, also received a release from his letter-of-intent yesterday. A source tells me that Thomas is looking at Columbia as a potential destination.
