Marist’s Jordan Named To CollegeInsider.com Preseason Mid-Major All-America Team

(Poughkeepsie) - Marist senior guard Jared Jordan was named to CollegeInsider.com’s Preseason Mid-Major All-America Team Tuesday. Rather then assembling first, second, third and fourth team squads, the CollegeInsider.com preseason Mid-Major All-America team is one team consisting of 25 players. Division I coaches and NBA scouts are part of the selection process, but final decision rests with the CollegeInsider.com staff. Freshmen and junior college transfers are not considered for preseason honors.

Jordan, who was named MAAC Preseason Player of the Year last week by the league’s coaches, led the nation last season with 8.5 assists per game. The Hartford, Conn. native was an All-MAAC First Team selection last season with a team-high 16.1 points per game, leading the Red Foxes to a 19-10 overall record with a 12-6 league mark.

Marist will kick off its 2006-07 campaign on Saturday, Nov. 11 at Ohio at 2 p.m.
