NEW YORK – Former Fordham point guard Jio Fontan is here at Madison Square Garden watching his former St. Anthony teammate Travon Woodall play for Pittsburgh against Indiana in the Jimmy V Classic.
The 6-foot-1 Fordham just received his conditional release from Fordham and said he plans to visit Indiana this coming weekend and USC the following weekend.
“Those two visits are the only ones set,” Fontan told me. “Indiana this weekend and USC the following weekend.”
Fontan also hopes to visit Miami, Kansas State and Oklahoma State in coming weeks.
Fontan’s release prevents him from playing for another A-10 school or any program in the tri-state area.
One Atlantic 10 coach told me it was unfair of Fordham to prevent him from playing locally, but Jio doesn’t mind.
“I’ll take the release if I can get it,” he said.
