Wednesday Roundup

1. PENN GAME RECAPS

2. CAZ
Casiem Drummond is looking at transferring to St. Peter’s or Iona. Other sources note that Niagara and Marist are options.

3. RECRUITING
As a testament to the fact that Jay Wright and his staff are always recruiting, this interesting blurb on shooting guard Sherrod Wright came as a surprise to us.

Mount Vernon senior wing Sherrod Wright did not sign early and will wait until April. Mount Vernon coach Bob Cimmino says South Carolina, Villanova and Marquette are Wright’s top three suitors, but Wright also mentioned Virginia, UMass and Oklahoma State.

Wright is a 6’4″ 190lb and plays for Mount Vernon HS (NY).

4. DWAYNE’s FOOT
Dwayne Anderson saw some action in last night’s game but was pulled and seen limping and feeling pain. Jay Wright said, “He started to feel a little pain. We have to figure out if it’s just soreness.”

Casiem Drummond to Transfer

Junior big-man Casiem Drummond will be transferring from Villanova to a school where he will be able to find more playing time.

Caz has been fighting ankle and foot injuries and has only played in two games this year.

Good luck to Casiem. This also means that Freshman, Maurice Sutton might be seeing his first minutes in an effort to help Jay get some front-court depth.

Injury Update

Before last night’s game Corey Stokes was sighted in a soft cast but still managed to get to log 27 minutes and score 8 points. It turns out Stokes has a sprained left thumb.

Cassiem Drummond is still experiencing soreness in his left foot and was only in for two minutes.

There is still no update on the status of Dwayne Anderson‘s stress fracture in his left foot.

Drummond MRI Negative

The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that Cassiem Drummond had an MRI on his foot yesterday and the scans came back showing nothing.

He should be ready for tomorrow’s game with Niagara.

Drummond Playing without Pain

MIKE — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 18:28:32 +0000

There’s no doubt that a strong front court will be key to the success of the Villanova squad this year. And a huge component of that strength down low will be Cassiem Drummond’s health.

Recovering from a severe stress fracture in his right ankle, Drummond has been playing without pain. The DelCo Times has a great article about Cassiem’s health and the 2008-09 Wildcat squad.

In case you’ve missed it, Nova News has been doing a Weekly Player Evaluation…

We’re guessing Dante is next!

“They’re saying September,” Drummond says, “but the doctor has said that if everything goes right, it could be as early as August.”
