Happy Thursday, 'Nova Nation! Jonathan Givony and his excellent team at Draft Express have been slowly releasing their scouting reports on the top prospects in the Big East and Villanova is well represented. Sending more players to the NBA will keep recruiting strong and further develop Villanova basketball, so it's nice to see DraftExpress high on a couple of players.
Also, some more interviews with Dylan Painter on his commitment to Villanova. We're still rejoicing!
