Villanova Basketball starts practice with Jay Wright’s youngest roster ever

Happy Tuesday Nova Nation! Another long offseason is over, and the preseason has officially begun. Today Villanova Basketball will begin a full practice schedule as it prepares for the 2019-2020 season. And boy do they have a lot of preparing to do.

This year, Jay Wright and his coaching staff face one of the biggest challenges they’ve ever had. Per KenPom.com, this is the least experienced team Jay Wright has ever started a season with. The active roster consists of five freshmen, three sophomores, and three juniors, which means on average the players have .82 years of experience between them.
