In case you’re just catching up with us, the Villanova Wildcats scored a big recruiting win on Friday. Top 100 2018 recruit Cole Swider committed to the Wildcats, giving head coach Jay Wright his second commit for 2018 to go along with shooting guard Brandon Slater. The commitment of Swider gave ‘Nova a huge W over fellow Big East peer Xavier as well as Syracuse and, maybe more importantly, Duke, who was thought to be a prime contender for Swider’s services.
The recruiting win for ‘Nova is certainly nothing to blow smoke at.
