Greetings from the Main Line. Here for Villanova practice. The Cats will be heavy favorites in the Big East. pic.twitter.com/y8oXOPF5Ii

Kris Jenkins is an incredibly pivotal piece for Villanova. Cats need another shooting threat at PF to emerge post James Bell. Important!

Would expect Darrun Hilliard to be the next Villanova player to be dominant as a senior. Going to be right in the mix for Big East POY.

Early prediction on Villanova's starting five --- Ryan Arcidiacono, Darrun Hilliard, Josh Hart, Jayvaughn Pinkston, Daniel Ochefu....

Two guys that should make a big jump for Villanova in 14-15? Dylan Ennis + Josh Hart. Will both have augmented roles next season.

Villanova could have a better team than it did last season but also could wind up having a worse record. Non-conference slate is brutal.

Phil Booth is cut from the same cloth as the other players Villanova has brought in over the past few years. Will be a great program guy.

Being able to execute under pressure separate good seasons from great ones. Villanova was 7-1 last year in games decided by 5 pts or less.

Josh Hart owns 50-50 balls. Always seems to be in the right place at the right time. Breakout year ahead. Brings unbelievable intangibles.
