3. Villanova Wildcats
Tyler Perkins (13.7 ppg and 5.4 rpg)
Daryl Simmons (16.4 ppg and 2.8 rpg at St. Bonaventure)
Jake Fiegen (17.1 ppg and 5.1 rpg at Cornell)
Kwame Evans (13.3 ppg and 7.4 rpg at Oregon)
Devin Royal (13.7 ppg and 5.7 rpg at Ohio State)
It was a busy offseason for the Wildcats, landing several veteran transfers. There’s now a chance they can not only keep all of them but also Perkins, their leading scorer from last season and has continued to developed after arriving from Penn.
Evans and Royal are the two biggest names, coming off big years at Big Ten programs. A second year under Coach Kevin Willard’s system would be great for both sides, and Simmons and Fiegen are two quality guards with the opportunity to have a sizeable impact on the program.
Villanova has shown to be the biggest threat to UConn and St. John’s at the top of the Big East. This new rule change would heavily benefit the Wildcats a year from now and help close the gap even further if they’re able to retain most of them.
