Villanova Basketball’s #2 Ranked 2019 Class set for National Signing Day

Happy Gameday Nova Nation! Believe it or not, the Michigan game is actually the second biggest thing happening with the program today. Wednesday is the opening of college basketball’s signing period, and Villanova’s four verbal commits for the Class of 2019 are set to sign their National Letters of Intent.

We’re not expecting any surprises here, but today should open the door for more insight on the future of the program. Once the letters are signed, Wright and the staff will be able to open up about the players, their recruitment, and expectations for next year.

But in the meantime, let’s check in on the 2019 class and see how everyone’s doing:

Bryan Antoine (SG) | Eatontown, NJ | #12 Overall Ranked Player

Antoine continues to show why he’s the #1 ranked shooting guard in the class. Here he is last week burying a game winner at Hoop Group.

But it’s not just the perimeter where the one-and-done candidate excels. Antoine can bring it from anywhere:

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (PF) | Bradenton, FL | #18 Overall Ranked Player

JRE was the last piece of the 2019 Class, and his addition vaulted Villanova up the rankings. He’s another player that could step right into the starting lineup and make an immediate impact for the Wildcats. Here’s just a taste of what he can bring to the table.

Justin Moore (SG) | Hyattsville, MD | #49 Overall Ranked Player

When the country’s 3rd best shooting guard is ranked 3rd in your incoming class, you’re doing something right (or should I say Wright?). Here he is at last month’s Team USA Minicamp showing that he can distribute just as well as he can finish.

Eric Dixon (PF) | Abington, PA | #58 Overall Ranked Player

Don’t sleep on Wright’s first commitment in the Class of 2019, because Dixon looks to be getting even better in his senior year. The local prospect should be a perfect fit for Villanova, and people can’t stop raving about him.

It’s absolutely incredible to know that Villanova HAS won championships, IS a Top 10 team, and WILL have a Top 5 recruiting class. It’s a great day to be a Wildcat!
