Derrick Randall '11 of Paterson Catholic (NJ) is an intimidating presence in the paint at a chiseled 6'8, 220-pounds. Numerous colleges are coming after the big man, but as of now Villanova is not one of them.

Virginia Tech, Rutgers, Seton Hall, St. John's, Providence, St. Joseph's, and South Carolina are the schools recruiting Randall. He lists offers from the Hokies, Friars, Gamecocks, Hawks, and Pirates.

Randall, who is originally from New York, does not have any leaders in his recruitment at this point in time.

Asked what the situation with Villanova is, Randall replied, "I don't know. I haven't talked to any of the coaches lately, in a while, so I don't know if they still recruiting me or not."

He said that the Wildcats had been actively involved in his recruitment at one point, and also said that if Jay Wright and Co. were to get back in the mix he would indeed be open to the Big East program.
