2041/42 Farewell
JOHN CANNON
Our recruitment of
John Cannon was unlike that of almost any other player we've signed. We didn't discover him until late in the recruiting cycle, and we offered him a scholarship before we had the chance to scout him thoroughly. He was a five-star player, so I was pretty sure he'd be good.
He was.

John's career followed a progression that many successful players experience on Coach Sims' Villanova teams. He was a solid rotation player as a freshman, a productive sixth man as a sophomore, and an All-Big East starter as a junior. His signature skills--the ability to stroke it from behind the arc, his lockdown defense, and his penchant for creating turnovers--were reliably on display in all three of these roles.
In three productive years, John earned a spot on our leaderboards for three-pointers made (8th) and steals (4th). With one more typical Cannon season, he'd rank second, but only because the career leader is still active.
John should be drafted early in the first round of the pro draft, and he might end up as a lottery pick. A bright future in professional basketball awaits him, and he's made significant progress toward his degree in Statistics. His greatest legacy, however, are those three NCAA championships we've won, with lots of help from him.
Thanks for the memories, John.
