10:15 a.m., Feb. 13, 2003--Harding Nana, a 6-8 forward who was released recently from his basketball scholarship by Virginia Tech, has enrolled at the University of Delaware, it was confirmed Wednesday, Feb. 12, by UD Head Coach David Henderson.
Nana, a native of Douala, Cameroon, will not practice with the Fightin’ Blue Hens this season, although he is permitted to do so under NCAA rules. Instead, Nana will enroll in a regular class schedule and is expected to join the team for the 2003-04 season.
Under NCAA transfer regulations, Nana would not be eligible for competition until Dec. 20, when UD's fall semester is complete.
Nana asked for his release from Virginia Tech on Dec. 14. He played in three games during the 2001-02 season for Virginia Tech Head Coach Ricky Stokes before receiving a medical redshirt.
Nana did not appear in any games this season before requesting a release from his scholarship.
Nana attended Newport School in Kensington, Md., during his final two years of high school. He averaged 11 points and 11 rebounds per game on a Newport team that finished 30-8 and produced four other NCAA Division I players.
Nana then attended Notre Dame Prep in Middleburg, Mass., for one year before enrolling at Virginia Tech. At Notre Dame Prep, Nana averaged 12.3 points and 8.0 rebounds per game for Head Coach Bill Barton.
