Huuuuuuuuump Daaaaaay! Last year there was never really a doubt that Villanova was Ryan Arcidiacono's team. And while Josh Hart is getting all the plaudits and Kris Jenkins is still covered in glory, it might be a fair question to ask -- is this Jalen Brunson's team?
He's having a quietly (on the national scale) great year, and the book on the sophomore has been that he's a natural born leader and the perfect replacement for Arch -- he's more than stepped up to fill that void in my eyes. Has he taken the reigns, officially?
And now, the "news."
