Villanova All-Time Scoring Leaders List

Head coach Jay Wright will be losing a large presence on the post as JayVaughn Pinkston and his 737 rebounds will be departing with the Brooklyn native's graduation. Pinkston's tally puts him at 18th on the all-time list and leaves a Top 20 legacy in scoring in rebounding.

Daniel Ochefu is the only current Wildcat who has tallied 500 boards in his Villanova career. The 6'10" big man is currently ranked #27 on both the Scoring and Rebounding list and will enter the 2015-16 season looking to jump up. Should 'Chef match his 3-year average, he will finish his career in the Top 15 of Wildcat Rebounders. If the big man equals the output of his junior campaign, he would finish at #7. To become the seventh member of 'Nova's Millenial Rebound Club, he needs to grab 349 boards; assuming 33 games, that's just under 11 rebounds per game.

Among other Villanovans looking to hop on the list, guard Josh Hart has 312 boards. He'd reach the milestone if he can mildly exceed his sophomore output of 185.
