Additional Jay Wright Quotes from Media Day
We gave you a bunch of Jay Wright quotes from last Wednesday’s Big East Media Day. Adam Zagoria has added some new ones…
On Scottie Reynolds:
Scottie is healthy and I think it’s one of the responsiblities of our coaching staff to keep him fresh and healthy this year. He kills himself in practice and Dante Cunningham does the same thing. It’s my job to do the same thing.
On the Coreys:
We’ll always recruit New Jersey because that’s where the bulk of our alumni are from. The history of Villanova basketball, there’s so many great players from New York and New Jersey.
“Corey Stokes and Corey Fisher are the guys that really have a chance to make us a better team. They’re the guys that have made drastic improvements from last year and they’re both talented kids and very, very well coached coming from their high school programs. We’ve got experienced guys up front, those two could make the difference for us this year.

‘Nova Notebook Article on Corey Fisher
Mike Sheridan’s work with ‘Nova Notebook continues this week with an article about Corey Fisher’s workouts this summer.
Fisher has been hitting the weight room and been working on getting faster and stronger while working on his flexibility.
Dominic Cheek: “Villanova Showing the Most Love”
That’s the current headline on Adam Zagoria’s Blog.
Villanova (is) recruiting me the hardest. (Villanova) showing me the most love… They stuck with me since Day One.
another good note…
Still, Villanova fans should probably feel good about the fact that Cheek is rooming here with incoming point guard Maalik Wayns.
“That’s my boy,†Cheek said of Wayns.
“I told him he would be the man, his show,†Wayns said of Cheek.
Cheek is also friendly with a number of Nova players, including Corey Fisher and Corey Stokes, who played at St. Patrick and St. Benedict’s, respectively.

From The Bleacher Report: Villanova Basketball: Why Not ‘NOVA This Year?
Interesting comments. The author draws a mention to the 2006 squad and then…
So let me ask you this: Why can’t a new trio emerge for this upcoming season? I know, I know, it’s very early, but let’s do some dreaming. Why can’t a trio of Scottie Reynolds, Corey Fisher, and Reggie Redding lead the way?
From Villanova by the Numbers, a very analytical look at the performance of Stokes, Fisher, Pena, and Grant. Man, do we love VBTN.
