Get to know an incoming recruit: Villanova’s Collin Gillespie

What a difference a year makes.

Last summer, it seemed like Division II basketball was the road Collin Gillespie would take after high school.

If he shined on the basketball court, maybe he could get the attention of a low to mid-major Division I team. Unfortunately for Gillespie, an ankle injury sidelined him for most of the July live recruiting periods.

However, Gillespie bursted onto the scene once the high school season began, playing at a much higher level than he had previously showed. CAA schools like Albany, Drexel, Delaware, and Hofstra started getting involved, but that was only the beginning.
