WASHINGTON, D.C.-- When Kevin Nickelberry took over as the Bison’s men’s basketball coach four years ago, one of his first orders of business was to bring in higher-profile recruits. Sophomore James Daniel has been his best find so far after leading the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference in scoring (21.7 ppg) and winning conference rookie of the year. He also led all freshmen in the country in scoring and was 11th overall.The 5-foot-11 guard was selected MEAC preseason player of the year in voting by conference coaches and sports information directors heading into this season. He’s the first MEAC preseason player of the year at Howard in more than three decades.
Daniel, who missed five games last season with a jammed toe, may have to be even more involved this season in the wake of an injury to starting forward Prince Okoroh (Eleanor Roosevelt High).
