Hearing that Jarret McClenton (slot) & Aaron Forbes (RB) are getting reps with 2 deep and appear to be destined to contribute this season.

Rest of freshman are not currently in rotations that would see them play this season.

Brandon Chadbourn, talented frosh WR, suffered a serious lower leg injury today & will most likely be a redshirt. Hate injuries.

Frosh DE Datrell Reed & frosh RB D'Andre Pollard have yet to practice recovering from injuries.

Hearing Malaguti is indeed playing MLB behind Cherry & redshirt freshman Jeremy Steeb. Wiley is playing outside LB behind Major, Calitro, and Shockley.

This special was done in 1997 but it is still on TV all the time. Does anybody know if any of the 3 girls David Blaine does magic for on the AC boardwalk are Villanova girls? They were probably around 25 then, maybe a little younger or a little bit older.

Seattle hall of fame. Well deserved for the "crafty" lefty.

Nickles, thoughts?

"Corey Evans @coreyevans_10
Villanova has offered 2016 STAB forward Javin DeLaurier @ny2lasports
12:04 PM - 8 Aug 2015"

little weekend excitement, he's a four star 6/9 200lbs PF from Charlottesville Va.
Ranked #40 and already has some impressive colleges on his list....
w/ TX, Gtown, UNC, and Ville already in the mix (plus Princeton & Vandy), Jay & comp must know something and/or putting the spurs to the other candidates for a decision.

"Really blowing up!"
This kid is great and would be a perfect running mate for Omari!
Guess they're truly serious about getting that other Big.

Oh, per Zags this could be a short lived recruitment cause he's cutting his lists soon, but gotta be in it to ........

Who's going? Mary Ann and I have a party of 12! Tom

Richard Freudenberg, a 6-8 forward will visit Thursday. Rated as a four star in class of 2016.He visited Vanderbilt and will go to BC on Tuesday.

One of my players who I am really proud of - I know that we have not been recruiting him hard but we have been following and in contact - He has had a fantastic summer though and I still think he is going to be a great get for someone - I hope we don't regret passing up on him because I know he is a huge Nova fan and if we got in seriously we could have had him - prepping at South Kent this year.
List is Georgetown, UConn, DePaul, Pitt, VCU, Seton Hall, Georgia Tech and St. Joe's of pa

I was surprised Xavier, Marquette and K-State didn't make the list over St Joes but they were in very early so there is something to be said for that.

Nice expansion.

We come in at a respectable #10.

ACC is LOADED per this list. Holy Cow.

Some actor.

Robot makes it through Canada, Germany, and the rest of the northeast (including the CoDB), but Philly trashes the thing. Ended up much like myself.

2015 Eagles HOF includes # 36 and #55 Maxie Baughan. To be inducted Oct.19 before game v NYG

Article about Jay and the program in it.
Written by Mike Lopresti.
Title is "No apologies needed for 'Nova's 33-3 season".
Lots of quotes by Coach Wright about the early exits from NCAAs.
Closes with the line "Going 33-3 should mean never having to say you're sorry"
The highlighted quote next to the pic of Jay is "[Early exits are] not going to define us within our program. It's going to define us outside of our program and we accept that".
Article gives Jay Wright a lot of credit for having the proper perspective.

In the Clark Francis section he ranks the Top 50 recruiting classes of 2016 [sic] and Villanova checks in at #48 with Brunson, Divincenzo and Delaney.

St. John's at #14
Marquette #22
Providence #28
Georgetown #34

Big East needs to have a better recruiting cycle this time with the HS class of 2016.

nm

so it begins.....

•Preseason #1 CAA ranking
•Top 5 National Ranking in preseason polls
•Preseason Offensive & Defensive Players of the Year candidates.

Let's Go!!

Certain posters here have developed an undying passion for irrationally defending certain things without any signs of conceding their deficiencies. Whether it's a political idea, sports executive, or collar stay brand, let's take time on this thread to admit these items so that we can move forward from these circular discussions.

Things that I, NickleDimer, will defend until I am 6 feet under:
Donovan McNabb's on-field performance
the majesty of Pat Burrell's swing
Mike Piazza
my desire for local sports franchises to attempt to be competitive

Worthy of its own thread.....

1. Godfather
2. Godfather 2
3. Goodfellas

5. Gotti (HBO)

10. Carlito's Way

Sixers swap J Thompson for Gerald Wallace's dead body and pick swapping rights! What should my level of outrage (or lack thereof) be?

Wow. Tulo to Toronto for Reyes. Garbage for garbage. But one garbage has a heftier contract.
