The Drexel roster under new head coach Zach Spiker continues to take shape.

Earlier this week, the Dragons added a transfer in Troy Harper, not long after rising junior Sammy Mojica had decided not to leave after initially declaring in April his intent to transfer.

Harper's arrival and the return of Mojica would have put the Dragons' roster at 14 scholarship players, though sources close to the program have indicated that Ahmad Fields, who only played in three games for Drexel this past season after transferring over from Utah in 2014, will be forced to retire due to injury.

The latest move came in Wednesday night, with Philadelphia native Rashann London telling CoBL he has decided to transfer and play his final two years of college ball elsewhere.

London, who played at Roman Catholic alongside Penn State guard Shep Garner, had been forced into big minutes at Drexel for two years due to injury. The 6-foot-2 combo guard averaged 7.2 ppg and 2.2 rpg in 30.1 mpg in his DU career.

Spiker was hired as Drexel's new head coach in April following the firing of 15-year head coach Bruiser Flint in March. Last season, the Dragons went 6-25, the worst season in the program's Division I history (1970-present).

In addition to London, Drexel will also have to replace its starting point guard, as rising sophomore Terrell Allen (9.8 ppg, 3.2 apg) transferred to Central Florida last month.

CoBL will have more on this story as it becomes available
