Jordan Longino, a class of 2021 shooting guard recruited by Indiana, committed to Villanova on Thursday night.
It’s the second time this summer Villanova has edged out IU for a Pennsylvania-based recruit. In June, class of 2021 forward Trey Patterson also chose Villanova over Indiana and Florida. In both cases, the selection of Villanova wasn’t a surprise.
Longino, rated as a top-20 shooting guard nationally by 247Sports, had been a focal point of IU’s backcourt recruiting efforts in the class of 2021. But the Hoosiers were unable to bring Longino on campus for a visit because of the shutdown of on-campus recruiting activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
