As for Wright, he holds offers fromSt. John’s, Providence, West Virginia, Central Florida and Fordham.
For those interested in the whereabouts of former Seton Hall forward Mike Glover, he’s currently at ASA, a start-up JUCO program in New York.
“He’s in school here and he’s been in school for our fall semester,” said Kenny Wilcox, the ASA coach. “He needs some credits to get eligible for junior college and we’re working on that. We hope to have him on the court in a couple of weeks, in or around Feb. 1.”
Wilcox said a return to Division 1 was a ways off.
