2042/43 Farewell
DAN O'HALLORAN
We started recruiting
Dan O'Halloran as an eighth grader, when he was playing JV down the road at Episcopal Academy. Dan wasn't a huge Villanova fan growing up--his grandfather played at Boston College--so we had to work hard to convince him to stay close to home. He arrived as the nation's top recruit, and we predicted he could join
Avery Sullivan and
Sebastian Roberts on the short list of Villanova's best-ever big men.
Three years later, that's exactly who he's turned out to be.

Dan's career numbers aren't staggering, but they're a reflection of the quality of the teams for which he played. He's not among our ten top career scorers, but we never needed Dan to be our first offensive option. The stats for his junior year aren't quite as good as those he compiled as a sophomore but, then again, his supporting cast was a bit better.
But, as we predicted, Dan turned out to be a delightfully complete player. He leaves as our all-time leading rebounder; he and Sebastian are the only Wildcats to collect 1000 in their careers. Dan also handed out 250 career assists, considerably more than either Avery or Seb compiled. Avery was a better shot blocker, but not by much. And Dan matched Seb with two national championships, missing a third by a basket.
It's likely that Dan will match another of Sebastian's accomplishments this month, when the professional draft takes place. Almost every expert believes he'll be chosen with the first pick, like Sebastian was. He plans to complete his degree in Economics during his off-seasons.
You've done us proud. Thanks for the memories, Dan.
