Villanova’s Big Shift to Power | College Basketball News

Villanova’s basketball future just got a lot bigger—and bolder. Jon Rothstein calls them a “program on the rise,” spotlighting a dramatic frontcourt overhaul led by European import Luigi Suigo, Big Ten vet Devin Royal, and versatile Kwame Evans Jr.—the latter being compared to Julian Reese at Maryland. With guards like Tyler Perkins returning and shooters Jordan Simmons II and Billy Fiegen ready to space the floor, Villanova’s ceiling hinges on their backcourt chemistry. A stacked non-conference slate against Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pittsburgh, and Kansas sets the stage for early validation. With UConn and St. John’s potentially faltering, Rothstein sees Villanova as serious title contenders—this year, they’re building to win with size, not just speed.
