Logs six minutes in return Cosby-Roundtree accumulated two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds and one assist in six minutes during Sunday's 72-46 win over La Salle.

Impact While it wasn't necessarily an impactful performance, it's impressive to see Cosby-Roundree back on the court in any capacity given his career was thought to be over only two months ago. Even if he can only contribute in short bursts, it's still a net positive for the Wildcats, who were badly in need of frontcourt depth.

Gets surprise clearance Sunday Cosby-Roundtree (lower leg) will suit up for Villanova on Sunday against La Salle, Aaron Bracy of the Associated Press reports.

Impact As of late-September, it was thought that Cosby-Roundtree's playing career was at its end, so this appears to be a major development. His ultimate role, of course, seems like a bit of a mystery. Cosby-Roundtree is a former part-time starter for the Wildcats who at one point provided meaningful minutes at center, and the post has been an area of weakness for the team this year without the presence of a traditional five man. Should Cosby-Roundtree represent any shade of his former self, it would be a significant boost, though it remains possible this will simply be a symbolic gesture.

Playing career over Cosby-Roundtree (lower leg) will remain on scholarship at Villanova but won't play basketball for the Wildcats anymore, Dana O'Neil of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cosby-Roundtree has dealt with leg injuries for the last two years and hasn't played since 2019-20 because of the injuries. Even with an extra offseason of rest, it appears the senior's legs haven't returned to a playing form, putting an end to his career. He posted his best season with Villanova in 2018-19, when he started 16 of hi 36 games played and averaged 5.1 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.

Status for '21-'22 season in doubt Villanova head coach Jay Wright said Tuesday that Cosby-Roundtree (lower leg) hasn't been ruled out for the 2021-22 season, but the big man's availability for the upcoming season i...

Impact Since appearing 29 games off the bench for Villanova as a third-year junior in 2019-20, Cosby-Roundtree has required multiple surgeries over the past two years to address tibial fracture in his left leg. Despite sitting out the entire 2020-21 season, the 6-foot-9, 250-pound center apparently still hasn't made a full recovery, and another redshirt year could be in the forecast. Wright and the Villanova training staff will likely track Cosby-Roundtree's progress over the next several weeks before getting a better sense of whether a return to action this season is feasible, but at the very least, he seems likely to miss at least the first couple months of the campaign.

Still without return timetable Coach Jay Wright said Thursday that Cosby-Roundtree (lower leg) is still "a long way away" from returning, C.J. Holmes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cosby-Roundtree has been dealing with a stress fracture over the past several weeks, and Wright still didn't have an estimate on when he could return to the court. Once he's back to full health, the senior should serve as the backup to Jeremiah Robinson-Earl underneath the basket.

Not expected back soon Coach Jay Wright indicated that Cosby-Roundtree is dealing with a stress fracture and could miss "at least a month", Eugene Rapay of The Journal News reports.

Impact Cosby-Roundtree averaged 7.7 minutes per game off the bench for Villanova last season and seems likely to fill a similar bench role during his senior season behind Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. While Cosby-Roundtree sits, Eric Dixon and Cole Swider have seen time down low when Robinson-Earl needs a breather.

Impact Cosby-Roundtree underwent surgery on his right shin in March, and head coach Jay Wright revealed Thursday that he won't be ready to start the season for the Wildcats. A timetable for his return hasn't been established, but he should play a reserve role once he's fully healthy.
