Villanova thriving in transfer portal during new era of college basketball

[shu67]

Willard has been active in filling out the depth chart. Kwame Evans Jr. and Devin Royal were big-name commits coming to Villanova for their final year.

Once the top two were committed, it was all about filling out the roster — and Willard’s goals were clear.

Evans Jr. comes in at 6-foot-10 while Royal is 6-foot-6. The Wildcats have gotten bigger this offseason and will also be aggressive in looking for a center. Perhaps one from a Big East foe. Willard also brought in shot makers to come off the bench in the form of 40% three-point shooters.

The kid from Cornell is a player. Can really shoot, crafty getting to the basket. Cornell shot the most 3s in the country.

Willard will give him a green, green light and he will be a nice piece.

Good coach + good money = good outcomes.

Plus the Pope.

lol. He hasn’t helped the White Sox so far so call me a skeptic.

Willard has the money to do it right. Get a few top recruits out of the gate and other players will come.

At the end of the day we will see who puts better talent on the court and that includes all the BE teams. Right now SHU is at the bottom of the transfer portal BE ratings or close to it. It is still early and we will soon know just how good or bad this newly rebuilt roster is as far as talent.

Lol. He's been rightly unhappy since canned Ozzie

Certainly, not a good place to be, but we were there this time last year, too.

The difference is that Charlie Baker, that jackass, is pushing for a 5th year of eligibility, and since there are no other rules, this will likely come to fruition and free up another 1000(?) players who were, rightly, out of eligibility.

It gets worse and worse. And all a reaction to the lawsuits.

The NCAA -which loses every court case imaginable involving its rules - is “pretty optimistic” this one will work out just fine.
