Way back when, during that amazing Final Four run, we talked a lot about how it wasn’t only right then that Villanova would reap the benefits, but that they would in the future as well. One of the biggest points was on the recruiting front, where Villanova has primarily been entrenched on the East Coast scene, albeit with success.
Tony Wroten Jr. is a Top-10 player in the Class of 2011, and more importantly, hails from Seattle. The Las Vegas Review-Journal recently talked with Wroten, and he listed Villanova amongst his favorites.
Obviously a lot can change, but this is incredible news for our program. Expanding your recruiting base and becoming a more national program will only help to create sustained success in the long run, so this is very encouraging news, even if we don’t land Wroten in the end.
…I bet I’m not the only one fantasizing about a class headlined by Mike Gilchrist and Wroten right now…speaking of which, we added him to the Recruiting Page as it looks like we’re firmly in play for Wroten for the time being…
