Villanova center Casiem Drummond has reportedly decided to transfer to Marist. Villanova gave Drummond permission to talk to Marist, Siena, and Boston University.
The move seems to make a lot of sense, as I noted in an earlier posting. Drummond attended the same high school as freshman R.J. Hall and will receive the biggest opportunity from Marist. Drummond will start right away and Marist should be a big contender in the MAAC next season. None of the MAAC teams have blown anybody away thus far, and the conensus favorite, Siena, will lose its best player in Kenny Hasbrouck. Marist will remain intact for the most part. The biggest loss will be senior captain Ryan Schneider, but look for Dorvell Carter to step up and fill his position. Boston College transfer Daye Kaba will also factor into the mix. FoxSports originally broke the story, but Marist has yet to substantiate the claim. The transfer is most likely a formality at this point since the semester has not ended yet. Look for Marist A.D. Tim Murray to confirm this report sometime next week.
Jordan signs with NBDL's Rio Grande Valley Vipers
After months of waiting, Marist College graduate and standout point guard chose to stay in the States to play his professional ball. Jordan enjoyed a successful stint with the New Orleans Hornets during preseason but was among the final cuts.
By staying in America, Jordan is only a phone call away should injuries hamper a team. The money was definitely better in Europe, but the opportunity was greater here. The Vipers are an affiliate of the Houston Rockets and New Orleans Hornets.
Jordan made his debut yesterday and played 17 minutes. Jordan dished out two assists but failed to score. This was Jordan's first significant action since a preseason game against the Indiana Pacers.
