Recruiting Picking up in the Big East, When Will Providence Join in?

Villanova continues to load up, as Jay Wright and his staff landed a commitment from a four star guard in Jordan Longino out of Pennsylvania. The Wildcats have the makings of a tremendous 2021 recruiting haul, with Longino joining top 40 small forward Trey Patterson and skilled big man Nnanna Njoku. Njoku, is a powerfully built, top 100 center out of the same Sanford School in Delaware that produced Providence freshman-to-be Jyare Davis. He has a good face-up jumper and plays with physicality. The trio of Loningo, Patterson, and Njoku gives Jay Wright a class featuring three top 100 players — and it is a group that is expected to soon include point guard Angelo Brizzi out of Virginia.
