 Alabama Live: Transferring Alabama senior forward Demetrius Jemison plans to spend his final season of eligibility at Manhattan College in New York.
"I'm definitely excited," Jemison said. "The chance to be in the big city definitely played a big role in it."
Jemison, a Birmingham native, said he made the decision this past week, choosing Manhattan over possible destinations like Western Kentucky, Western Michigan and Georgia State. The former Huffman High standout also had interest from UCLA.
He plans to enroll in graduate school in late August and will be eligible to participate immediately, per NCAA guidelines that allow an athlete to transfer and not have to sit out a year if the graduate program is not offered at the current institution.

 Trentonian: Shawn Valentine recieved scholarship offers from a list of schools that included Rutgers, Temple, La Salle and St. Bonaventure -- all teams with higher profiles than Rider.
But Valentine, a 6-foot-7 combo guard from Winslow Twp, spurned those other offers Monday and chose Rider, a move that gives the Broncs an early recruiting victory for the 2011-12 season.
Valentine, a rising senior, averaged 17 points, five rebounds and four assists last year for Winslow Twp. Though he's played a large percentage of high school minutes at point guard, he figures to be a wing for Rider, which will also add Virginia transfer Jeff Jones in 2011-12.
Reached by phone Monday, Valentine said he narrowed his choices to Rider and Rutgers, chosing to stay in his home state and, he said, to play for a coaching staff with which he felt comfortable.

Glover, a Bronx native, has two years of eligibility remaining.
Xavier and Howard were also involved.
The 6-foot-6, 210-pound Glover initially committed to St. Francis (NY) but changed his mind after head coach Brian Nash resigned in April.
