Still rehabbing hip surgery Crabtree continues to be sidelined as a result of hip surgeries sustained during his redshirt year, John O'Connor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.
Impact Crabtree averaged 7.1 points and 2.0 rebounds through 30 games (15 starts) in his freshman year at Tulane in 2018-19, but transferred and ultimately took a season off due to injury. it doesn't sound like he's recovered just yet, but the report does imply a return to practice could be on the horizon. That means an appearance Wednesday against Northern Iowa is most likely out of the question, but upcoming matchups against West Virginia (Dec. 13), Vanderbilt (Dec. 16) and Hofstra (Dec. 22) may be in play.

Impact This is in response to some positive COVID-19 tests within the Richmond basketball program. It's not clear at what point the Spiders will be able to play games again.

Continues not to dress Weir is in street clothes for Sunday's game against Kentucky, Noah Goldberg of ESPN.com reports.
Impact It has been coach Chris Mooney's decision in both games to have Weir not in uniform. Many are speculating that the 6-10 freshman is taking a redshirt this season although no report has confirmed that.

Impact Gustavson was unavailable for the Spiders' season-opener against Morehead State on Friday due to an unspecified illness unrelated to COVID-19 but his team was still able to cruise to an easy win. Gustavson's anticipated return will be largely beneficial as he is the top backcourt reserve and will need to provide sufficient minutes off the bench in order to keep pace with No. 10 Kentucky.

12 boards as starter Burton had seven points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and two steals Friday against Morehead State.
Impact Burton is arguably the Spiders most naturally talented and athletic player. He's moved into the starting lineup with Nick Sherod (knee) out for the year, and the team is likely to ride its top five heavily. Minutes will lead to production, and once Burton's shots start dropping, he'll be looking at a breakout sophomore campaign.
NOVEMBER 28, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Perfect from floor Friday Cayo had 23 points (10-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), a rebound, assist and two blocks Friday against Morehead State.
Impact Cayo's lone deficiency was at the foul line, a place he made great strides at last season. He's not known for his offense, and the Spiders have plenty of mouths to feed above him, but this likely won't be the last time he flashes. A more challenging matchup against Kentucky awaits Sunday.
