One out of every four lottery picks in this years draft played his college ball at Villanova.
David Getty of Boston College was the first overall pick, as expected. The next name called was
Zayden Calhoun's.
Tony Flaherty was chosen at #5, and
David Lovett at #10.
James Sanders, Jr. left Georgetown after three years, and was chosen right before Tony, at #4. And Kentucky center
Mark Rotz, Dane Barlow's old nemesis, was the #3 pick.
Despite having only two incoming recruits, our class ranked second in the nation.

Dan O'Halloran is every bit as good as we hoped he would be, and
Israel Moody is, too. Don't be surprised if both players start as freshmen.

Most of the Big East recruited well, as usual.
Jon LaFramboise is going to be a very good player, a worthy foe for
Dan O'Halloran.
I was shocked by Georgetown's class, until I took a look at their roster. They're still in very good shape, with three dynamic sophomores.
On the other hand, how is Seton Hall going to keep up?
