Saint Joseph's Dahmir Bishop has been granted a legislative relief waiver by the NCAA, allowing him to compete for the Hawks starting this fall.

A standout at Imhotep Charter, Bishop came to Hawk Hill in January after transferring from Xavier. While with the Musketeers, the 6-foot-5 guard averaged 1.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and 12.0 minutes per game over 10 contests. A two-time Pennsylvania Sports Writers Class AAAA First Team All-State selection, he helped lead the Panthers to three-straight PIAA Class 4A State titles and Philadelphia Public League championships. A four star recruit, Bishop averaged 12.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per game as a senior captain at Imhotep Charter. 

"We are grateful for the NCAA's decision and leadership regarding Dahmir's waiver," said Saint Joseph's Head Coach Billy Lange. "A special thank you to Jill, Ken Krimmel and John Griffin III for their energy and diligence in compiling, organizing and presenting Dahmir's case. The collaboration and effort were exemplary."
