UW football: Academic issues sideline Jones for 2006-07 season

Shortly after staging a “Junior Day” recruiting function on the University of Wisconsin campus in March of 2005, the Badgers received an early verbal commitment from Daven Jones, a junior wide receiver from Glenville High School in Cleveland, Ohio.

….In a prepared statement, Badgers football coach Bret Bielema announced Tuesday that Jones would not be enrolling at Wisconsin this fall. Reportedly, Jones did not qualify academically to be admitted to the UW.

….Bielema also announced that backup linebacker Jammar Crane, a sophomore from Garland, Texas, will not be on the 2006 training camp roster. Last September, the 20-year-old Crane was charged with a misdemeanor for the fraudulent use of a credit card.
