Delaware Transfer John Camden Commits to Cal Basketball
Delaware transfer John Camden, an excellent shooter, has committed to Cal’s basketball program, according to multiple reports, including one by Jeff Borzello of ESPN that Camden reposted.
Cal beat out Purdue, SMU, Mississippi State. Oklahoma State and Grand Canyon, which were the other five finalists for Camden, a 6-foot-8 forward with one season of college eligibility remaining.
Camden averaged 16.8 points and 5.5 rebounds for Delaware this past season when the Blue Hens went 16=20 overall and 5-13 in the Colonial Athletic Association. But Delaware reached the finals of the Colonial tournament before losing by four points to North Carolina-Wilmington in the championship game.
The most appealing aspect of Camden’s statistics is that he shot 41.6% from three-point range.
Camden’s best game in 2024-25 came in a victory over William and Mary, when Camden scored 36 points and was 8-for-10 from three-point range. He also had seven rebounds and five assists in that contest.
Camden was a second-team all-conference selection despite Delaware’s poor record in Colonial play.
Camden played just one season at Delaware after transferring from Virginia Tech. He played in 14 games with no starts for the Hokies in 2023-24, averaging 1.9 points but making 46.7% of his three-point attempts.
Camden played in 23 games with no starts for Virginia Tech as a freshman in 2022-23, averaging 1.3 points and making 23.1% of his three-point shots.
Camden becomes the fourth transfer to commit to Cal, joining Loyola-Maryland transfer Milos Ilic, Campbell transfer Nolan Dorsey and Virginia transfer Dai Dai Ames.

Delaware protesters rally against Avelo Airlines’ deal with ICE
A protest against Avelo Airlines’ deal with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is held at Wilmington Airport, near New Castle, on April 19, 2025.
Delaware’s only commercial airline continues to find itself in hot water with elected officials, and not because of any flights from Wilmington.
Members of the state Senate have introduced a resolution calling for more scrutiny over contracts and incentives with companies that work with ICE. Avelo Airlines has a charter agreement with the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement to run deportation flights out of the country. The flights do not leave from Wilmington Airport.
The airport is run by the Delaware River and Bay Authority, which also runs the Delaware Memorial Bridge and the Cape May-Lewes Ferry. DRBA is a two-state operation where the Delaware legislature has limited power, but this resolution sends a message of discontent around Avelo’s continued service and deportation flights.
The Delaware Senate is not the first public body in Delaware to send this message. Wilmington City Council approved a similar resolution urging the city to avoid companies who work with ICE’s elevated deportation campaign under the Trump Administration. The city does not have contracts with Avelo or companies who operate with ICE, but the resolution passed regardless.
Avelo’s agreement with ICE led to multiple protests outside of Wilmington Airport in early 2025. Dozens of people would line up on Dupont Highway with signs to show passing drivers their displeasure with the airline.
“We realize this is a sensitive and complicated topic. After significant deliberations, we determined this charter flying will provide us with the stability to continue expanding our core scheduled passenger service and keep our more than 1,100 Crewmembers employed for years to come,” Avelo’s founder and CEO, Andrew Levy, said in an April statement.
Despite the rancor from elected officials, Avelo continues to expand its service from Wilmington. It recently announced new routes from Delaware to Atlanta and to Chicago O’Hare starting in 2026. That expansion makes it 14 destinations.
Avelo benefits from a fuel-tax exemption and has a marketing incentive from DRBA. The agency does not receive money from financial support or tax receipts from either the State of Delaware or New Jersey, its website says. Most of its revenue is generated by tickets, fees and tolls. A DRBA spokesperson old the News Journal/Delaware Online in April that they are “disappointed” in the ICE deal.
The resolution simply urges DRBA to prohibit deals with companies who work with ICE deportations “without sufficient due process.” For now, it is “laid on the table,” and will not be considered until the legislature starts up again in 2026. It was introduced by Sen. Raymond Seigfried, a Democrat representing Claymont.

Delaware State Police announced funeral arrangements for Cpl. Matthew Snook, who was shot and killed earlier this week while on duty.
The funeral service is scheduled for Jan. 5 at the Bob Carpenter Center at the University of Delaware, state police announced Saturday. Public visitation will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., followed immediately by a memorial service. Final honors will be presented outside the building at the conclusion of the service, with all ceremonial events expected to end by 3 p.m.
Snook was shot and killed Dec. 23 while working an overtime shift at a Delaware Department of Motor Vehicles office in Wilmington. Authorities said the shooter, 44-year-old Rahman Rose, was killed by responding officers.
Snook, a 10-year veteran of the department, was a graduate of the University of Maryland and member of the Terps’ wrestling team. Fundraisers to help his surviving wife and their 1-year-old daughter have raised thousands of dollars and Barstool Sports was selling T-shirts and sweatshirts to benefit the family.
The shooting remains under investigation, and police have not released a motive. Rose’s last known address was in Wilmington, according to state police.
