Elite PG Trevon Duval eliminates UCLA, down to 9 schools

That's a bit of a surprise.

By Chris Lane

Happy Tuesday, 'Nova Nation! I'm still playing catch up after taking most of the weekend off enjoying New York City (go there on Labord Day Weekend, it's empty). The biggest thing I saw was 5-star point guard Trevon Duval eliminating UCLA in the most savage way possible.

The Bruins had been considered one of the leaders in his recruitment, mostly due to their new apparel deal with Under Armour. But they're out, and I'm guessing it is because they already have a Top-30 PG committed in Jaylen Hands. This really only reinforces the belief that Duval is going to go somewhere where he can get the keys on day one and showcase himself for the NBA.

Too early to say if that will be Villanova, but the 'Cats are hanging around for now.

And now, the "news."
