Villanova

Graham Sims also has two available scholarships, too. One is currently held by senior Israel Moody, and the other was vacated when Dan O'Halloran turned professional. There are several talented first and second year backcourt players on this year's team, so wings and big men will be our top priorities this recruiting season.

New York's Mr. Basketball is Messiah Lynch, a 6'5" small forward who is exactly the kind of player, and person, we like to recruit. Messiah is the nation's #3 player, an elite scorer who averages 32 PPG while slashing .579/.507/.875. He's also a top student who won't require extra academic assistance once he enrolls in college. Villanova is listed among Messiah's top five schools, but we're not at the top of that list. Perhaps an early offer will impress him and his family.

We are at the top of Adam Bradley's list. He's a lean 6'7" wing from New Jersey, a slightly less hyped version of Lynch. Still, he's a four-star, Top 50 player who scores 23 points a game. Julian Carlson, a bruising power forward from nearby Norristown, is another four-star guy we like a lot.

This is Coach Sims' call list:
