Where will Jay Wright take Villanova Basketball following the National Championship?

Happy Monday, 'Nova Nation! A really nice article from Bob Ford headlines our links today, and he rightfully asks the question of how Jay Wright is going to manage success this time around. After all, he did a not-so-great job of that following the 2009 Final Four run.

With the business-like Ryan Arcidiacono and Daniel Ochefu out the door, and the fun-loving Josh Hart, Kris Jenkins and Darryl Reynolds now leading the way, the style of leadership is definitely going to change. And Wright needs to hit reset and refocus his team heading in to next season.

Personally, I'm not all that worried - and we don't even know if Hart and Jenkins will be back yet - but the culture Wright has instilled in the program should prevail and make next year's team earn it all over again.

And now, the "news."
