Happy Wednesday Nova Nation! Villanova’s Class of 2019 is already being hyped as possible the greatest in school history, and that train just continues to pick up speed. Yesterday, USA Today named its All-USA teams and players of the year nationally and for each state. While none of Nova’s commits made the national team, three of them were named to First Team All-USA in their home states. Bryan Antoine was named for the First Team in New Jersey, while Eric Dixon and Justin Moore were named Player of the Year for Pennsylvania and Maryland respectively.

In honor of these young men and their accomplishments, we figured we’d do another quick run around twitter to update the highlight reels for the whole class.

In case you’re wondering, yes that is Jeremiah Robinson-Earl at the receiving end of that pass!

Ok, I couldn’t find any twitter highlights for Chris, and this was the most recent video he posted on his twitter feed. But a little more searching and you can find some highlights from his 51 point night in the state playoffs from 2018:

The 2020 season continues to look like it’s going to be a lot of fun, and I can’t wait for these guys to get on campus to officially join their future teammates!

In other “news”, Kyle Lowry shows up the haters, Villanova Lacrosse on course for a Tournament bid, and Rick Barnes says something really stupid. Enjoy!
