The Villanova Recruiting Update

We only deal with the important stuff here. Fine -- I consider this important...

Villanova's run to the Sweet 16 in March apparently has paid big dividends. Casiem Drummond, a 6-foot-10 senior-to-be at Bloomfield Tech (N.J.), made an oral commitment to the Big East school yesterday during a news conference at the ABCD basketball camp at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, N.J.

"Villanova's success played a big part," the 275-pound Drummond said. "They're going to be a pre-ranked Final Four team, so I want to go to not only a great program with great coaches, but a great program from a basketball standpoint."

Drummond joins 6-10 Andrew Ott of Germantown Academy, 6-4 Reggie Redding of St. Joseph's Prep, and 6-9 Kraidon Woods of Pocono East (Pa.) as potential Wildcats in 2006-07.

Now, someone find me a couple of guards, and I'll be pretty happy.
