Justice has finally been served for 5-star recruit and Rutgers women’s basketball signee Maori Davenport. After being ruled ineligible to play by the Alabama High School Athletic Association in November for a mistake made by USA Basketball, Davenport’s situation has gained national attention in the past week. ESPN’s Jay Bilas led a major charge among others for Davenport to be allowed to play the rest of her senior season but the AHSAA held firm in their decision.
Maori Davenport should be reinstated immediately. The Alabama High School Athletic Association, specifically Steve Savarese, ruled Maori ineligible for a clerical error.
