5-star point guard Nico Mannion is officially down to 4 schools, and he’s taken another step in his recruitment by setting a pair of in-home visits for September with Villanova and Arizona.
Villanova Jay Wright & George Halcovage will home visit 2019 PG Niccolo Mannion, September 9th at 1pm. Arizona Coach Miller & Phelps will also home visit at 5pm per source. @niccolomannion @wceua @PaulBiancardi #esp100 #whistle

Mannion’s official visits do not begin in October, but this is a good opportunity for the staff to get a one-on-one session with him and his family.
Naturally, Sean Miller will visit later that same day, just as he’ll host Mannion at Arizona’s Blue-Red game right after Villanova’s official visit. He’s clearly as must-get recruit for Miller and staff as they fight their way back from serious recruiting violations and a disappointing season.
Mannion is ranked #15 in the 247 Composite Rankings after reclassying from the class of 2020.
