Villanova landed their second Top-100 prospect in the class of 2018 when Cole Swider announced his commitment to Villanova Wildcats this afternoon.
Swider’s commitment is a coup for Jay Wright and his staff. Swider said that his relationship with Coach was a big factor, so kudos to the staff for identifying Swider early in the process and going out and landing their man.
Whereas defense has typically gotten freshman on to the court early in their Villanova careers, it will be Swider’s offense that will make him tough to keep on the bench. He’s one of the truly elite shooters in this class and has great size at 6’8” on the wing.
