Big role with new team James (eligibility) started and logged a team-high 21 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT) to go along with eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 30 minutes in Saturday's... Impact James was barely getting run as a reserve for Xavier, so he elected to transfer after two years with the program. In a normal year, NCAA rules might dictate a season on the sidelines, but it appears the 6-8 forward has been granted a waiver for immediate eligibility. James ended up taking more shots than any Jacksonville starter in the opener, in addition to being the leading three-point shooter. It appears he'll get the heavy usage he was presumably looking for upon entering the transfer portal.
