Happy Thursday, 'Nova Nation! Yesterday, the recruiting period began for college basketball. That allows college coaches to conduct in-home visits and watch workouts. Jay Wright and staff were active on Wednesday, and should continue to be moving forward.
Jay Wright went to see Lonnie Walker, and Neumann-Goretti teammates Quade Green and Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree also got some love. Plus, a new name for 2018!
And now, the "news."
Villanova and Towson both sent assistants to Neumann-Goretti practice. Plenty of D-1 targets on the Saints' roster.
