At 6'7, rising sophomore Mikal Bridges brings a needed lateral depth to the Villanova Wildcats team. His path to rep that #25 jersey though, took a little while longer than most.
Redshirting his first year with the 'Cats, Bridges participated in the paces of training, but never took the court come game time. The Main Line native remarked in an interview with CSN Philly that while not playing games was difficult, the extra year to observe the team's inner workings was an "advantage" when it finally came time to suit up.
