I spoke with someone close to the Delaney situation.
His surgery was deemed fully successful. The labrum is good to go and after rehab it is expected he will feel like he has a brand new hip.
He has been playing through some pain for the past 3 to 4 years and the thought was to get the surgery, make things right and use the year to get back to 100%.
There was also a micro-tear of a ligament that was repaired to relieve him of what had been some "bone-on-bone" type pain.
Delaney is on crutches now and is not able to do any "load bearing" activity / exercise. But he has already been back on a bike and Jeff Pierce is guiding him through the rehab.
Given all this - it was explained to me that the plan now is to redshirt him so that he gets four full seasons to play.
He is in the Villanova business school.
Report I got is that he absolutely loves it at Villanova!
I updated the depth chart to reflect that he will from a scholarship/eligibility perspective now essentially be part of the 2016 class with Spellman and Painter - that would appear to be the biggest class Coach Wright will have had.
