Happy Monday Nova Nation! Last week a question was posed to me that had me going down a research rabbit hole. It was a fairly simple question, but the ramifications could be big for Villanova’s off-season: If nobody leaves, how can Villanova take on a transfer?
We all know that Gillespie, Samuels, and Cosby-Roundtree have completed their eligibility. We also know that their roster spots will be replaced by the three incoming freshmen in Whitmore, Armstrong, and Hausen. That puts Villanova back at 13 scholarship players, the maximum allowed.
And yet, Villanova has been actively recruiting in among guards in the transfer portal.
