On the Rise

Back in 2012, Jay Wright and his coaching staff brought in two stud recruits, in guard Ryan Arcidiacono and center Daniel Ochefu. Since both were rated at 94 overall by ESPN Recruiting, the Villanova fan base could not wait to see how the successors to Maalik Wayns and Mouphtaou Yarou would step into their roles on the team.

The following year, after Arcidiacono and Ochefu helped the Wildcats make the NCAA tournament, the team welcomed a trio of recruits onto campus. The 2013 class was not nearly as anticipated as the previous year’s recruiting class. However, that trio of Kris Jenkins, Darryl Reynolds and Josh Hart is on track to go down as the most successful class in Villanova history.
