DeLaurier, a 4-star prospect ranked 40th in the 247 Composite, has had a big year so far adding offers from Arizona, North Carolina, Florida and Georgetown in addition to holding offers from Louisville and Texas.
Per Adam Zagoria, Delaurier is expected to cut his list imminently, so this may or may not be a short-lived recruitment for the Villanova staff. But for a player of his caliber, it's worth the shot to get involved in his recruitment if Jay Wright and staff think they can.
Check out his highlights below - he's long and very athletic, and was voted to have the best motor of the July live period by the Scout recruiting staff.
