OT: Another 5-star for Villanova

[tcf15]

Jay Wright killing it - beat out Duke for this kid.

 

[CL82]

For the record, Chief never said which team the the dam was going to break for.

 

[TyroneShoo]

would not be shocked to see another 5 star announce for Nova in near future.

 

[UofCT]

No reason not to go to Nova. Jay is not only getting his players to the league but he's also winning championships.

Better Jay than the rat face coack k

 

[UofCT]

Better Jay than the rat face coack k

He is so well dressed that he has to be a class act.

 

[UConNick]

Awesome. Nothing but respect for Nova and Duke had been this kid’s heavy favorite for over a year. Any time someone turns down K (except when it’s for UK) is cause for some happiness.

 

[Ewekon]

Jay always always gave JC his props. I hope we have a combo clone with Danny.

 

[StepbackCity]

Nova is the new UConn

Pump the brakes.

“But the New Big East is no more attractive to play in than the AAC”

 

[nelsonmuntz]

The AAC is as good as the Big East.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Wow, that's really surprising.

 

[HuskyHawk]

No reason not to go to Nova. Jay is not only getting his players to the league but he's also winning championships.

There is one good reason not to. It's in Philadelphia.

 

[mdkhusky]

The AAC is as good as the Big East.

Lololol. If we went to the big east Hurley would be a top 3-5 force in recruiting every year

 

[Ewekon]

No it isn't at all. Villanova is a leafy green suburb with home values basically the same as Westport. Philly gives Nova kids access to the plusses of a major market without the negatives and it is a good school.

All true except the home values around Villanova (Radnor) are not close to what they are in Westport, CT. It is after all still the Philadelphia metro area and Westport is part of the NYC area. Huge difference.

Radnor Median Home Sales Prices: $639,700. (https://www.zillow.com/radnor-pa/home-values/)
Westport Median Home Sales Prices: $$1,028,900. (https://www.zillow.com/westport-ct/home-values/)

Yeah. Not looking for a fight on that one. Wiki says Villanova - which is unincorporated and I didn't know that - has values for homes in 7 figures. Pretty nice area actually. Like Southport is just a neighborhood in Fairfield but locals call it Southport and homes priced accordingly.

Have amtracked down for Husky/Cat games a few times to Philly. I was heckled in true Philly style. But we dun good dare.

 

[mauconnfan]

Man we need some basketball/recruiting news. Only on the Boneyard can a 5 star recruit for Nova turn into Radnor vs Westport, which is by the way closer to NYC than it is Storrs.

Please let that dam break, I'm begging you.

 

[uchusky32]

Nova is the new UConn

No, they have a good football team.

 

[StepbackCity]

Pump the brakes.

Why? Since conference realignment Villanova has been the best team almost every year. Like UConn before. They are the best team in the east in general. Like UConn before. They are stealing big time recruits since they have an all time great coach, like UConn before.

FIFY

LOL O Rlly?

I don't see Georgetown getting these caliber recruits. I don't see St Johns getting these kinds of recruits.

I don't see anyone in the NBE pulling the caliber of this recruit besides Nova.

 

[StunningSteve]

Here's Xavier's latest commit.

Westport?
C'mon
Nice suburb for Philly but not close
