Hidden in this article about Villanova's recent shooting slump is the more important news that Eric Paschall practiced for the first time in a week on Tuesday, and could suit up to play vs. Providence tonight.
Samuels out 6-8 weeks
Freshman is coming off his best game.
Gillespie out indefinitely, per school
This seems to be the school hedging more than anything.
Gillespie out 3-4 weeks
Nova coach Jay Wright says Collin Gillespie will miss 3 or 4 weeks.
— Dan Gelston (@APgelston) December 10, 2017
That puts his return sometime around the turn of the year. The 'Cats should have enough to manage without him, but the freshmen has played some nice minutes so far in reserve.
Phil Booth is cleared for all basketball activities
Guess who’s back...
Reynolds to return on Saturday
Senior has missed the last five games.
Reynolds expected back for BET
You can all breathe now.
Reynolds day-to-day, Delaney out for season
That’s three hip surgeries in 18 months.
Injuries: Good news, bad news
Wright gives updates on Booth and Delaney.
Booth out 6-8 weeks
Word came out yesterday that rising junior Phil Booth was undergoing surgery. Today, the school announced that arthroscopic surgery on his left knee was successful.
He'll be out 6-8 weeks, which will put him back in the mix towards the end of June - plenty of time to be involved in summer workouts ahead of next season.
Ochefu doubtful vs. PC
Per source, Villanova big man Daniel Ochefu is very doubtful to play tonight vs. Providence #pcbb @BIGEASTMBB
— Undercover Friar (@UndercoverFriar) March 11, 2016
This isn't entirely surprising given how Ochefu was extremely limited yesterday. A loss tonight doesn't matter all that much for Villanova - getting him healthy for next week does.
Ochefu cleared
In other news.....finally cleared to get back to doing what I love!

Straight from the Big Man's mouth.
Ochefu: "Doubtful"
Daniel Ochefu is officially listed as doubtful for Saturday's game at Providence.
— Villanova MBB (@NovaMBB) February 5, 2016
#3 Villanova will be on the road on Saturday at #11 Providence and it appears that senior big man Daniel Ochefu will not be playing due to the concussion he suffered a week ago.
The 6'10" Ochefu is undergoing the University's Concussion Protocol and has apparently not been cleared.
The Friars' leading scorer, Ben Bentil is noted as "day-to-day."
Ochefu is "definitely" out for Creighton
Big man's availability is still "up in the air".
Ochefu out for St. John's with concussion
Senior big man is undergoing concussion protocol.
Delaney out after second surgery
Delaney is definitely redshirting after his second hip surgery in the last 4 months.
Chef is day-to-day
Villanova’s Daniel Ochefu was diagnosed with a deep bruise in his buttocks. Will be checked out today. No practice today.
— VU Hoops (@VUhoops) January 14, 2016
Jay Wright confirmed that Chef suffered a deep bruise after he appeared to injury his tailbone in the victory vs. Marquette. He'll be held out of practice Thursday, but Wright is hopeful he's back to practice on Friday before Saturday's trip to Georgetown.
Delaney set for hip Wednesday surgery
NovaNation prayers and support are with Tim Delaney as he under goes hip surgery today ! #Attitude
— Jay Wright (@VUCoachJWright) January 6, 2016
We knew back in October that first-year Wildcat Tim Delaney was set to have surgery on his hip to fix a torn labrum. Today we found out that the big man's surgery will occur today.
Jenkins is day-to-day
The injuries are continuing to pile up
DiVincenzo out 4-6 weeks
Villanova is now down to 8 healthy scholarship players.
DiVincenzo out indefinitely
Villanova will definitely be shorthanded in the near future.
Reynolds bootless in SoCal
@VUhoops Darryl Reynolds, no boot ya gotta shoot. Looking great in Los Angeles! pic.twitter.com/wTrsiUu141
— LeonardV (@leonardv) December 5, 2015
Earlier this week, junior big man Darryl Reynolds was spotted on campus wearing a boot, with a "day to day" status noted by the program.
Reynolds was playing without a boot as the team worked out at Loyola Marymount earlier on Friday as 'Nova is stopping in Southern California to break up their trip to Hawaii to play Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor on Monday.
H/T Len V.
Reynolds in boot, "day to day"
With Oklahoma on deck, an already thin frontcourt may take a hit.
Delaney out indefinitely
Villanova announced that the freshman forward will undergo hip surgery to fix a torn labrum. Delaney had a hip injury in high school, but no word on whether this is related.
Delaney is out indefinitely, which likely means this will be a redshirt season for him.
Robertson done for season
All-everything QB sustained a PCL injury in his right knee against Delaware.
Seaton out for the year
Villanova coach Andy Talley said tackle Brad Seaton is out for season with knee and shoulder injury.
— Terry Toohey (@TerryToohey) September 28, 2015
6'8" junior tackle Brad Seaton is out of the season following a torn meniscus. Seaton was playing with a torn labrum prior to the knee injury.
Robertson out "indefinitely"
Will he see a 6th year of eligibility, or work to play again this year?
Darrun Hilliard cleared for Butler
Jay Wright said the Darrun Hilliard has been cleared to play against Butler. Was cleared on the 27th. “He’s fine."
— Tyler R. Tynes (@TylerRickyTynes) December 29, 2014

Seton Hall's Isaiah Whitehead out for Villanova
Seton Hall's super freshman, Isaiah Whitehead announced he "will be out for a few weeks" due to a stress fracture. The Pirates host Villanova on January 3rd. The 6'4" guard is averaging 11.9PPG, 4.3RPG, and 3.4APG.
