Per inRecruit, Villanova assistant coach Ashley Howard attended the Play By Play Classic game between the Haverford School and Friends Central. With Villanova staying local for their game versus Penn, Howard was able to sneak in the game before heading to the Palestra.

Names to know:
- 2016 - Lamar Stevens, DeAndre Hunter
- 2018 - Cameron Reddish
Stevens has an offer from Villanova and is one of their top targets on the board. DeAndre Hunter doesn't have an offer yet but this isn't the first time a Villanova staffer has scouted him and he was reported to be at the Temple game back in December by Josh Verlin.
Reddish is one of the top freshmen in the country, so Villanova will be in a dogfight to keep him in Philadelphia when his recruitment picks up.
