Villanova is moving in the polls again, and back in the right direction, after a strong opening to Big East play over the long holiday weekend. Hopefully that kept your spirits up on the first Monday morning of the new year.
That wasn't the only good news yesterday though. Former Villanova football standout Kevin Monangai signed a futures contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. That will keep him with the team through the offseason and into next year's training camp. It's a testament to the hard work Monangai has put in over the years, and especially in a long stint on the Eagles practice squad during the 2015 season.
