Brendan Hausen’s hometown of Amarillo, Texas is many miles away from Pennsylvania, but even as he made his first official visit to Villanova’s campus a couple weeks ago, he already felt like he was home.
“Just going around with Coach Wright and the staff, you just see how much people care about basketball,” Hausen said. “You see the staff is so tight and then the connections they have, and then you see it trickle down to everyone in the program. The culture is just so strong. The players are like brothers on and off the court. I come from a strong culture program out here, so when I came into Villanova’s practice and watched, I just felt like that’s where I belonged and that I can make a huge impact there.
