Nova target Isaiah Wong has committed to Miami. This isn't a huge surprise, as it's felt that Wong had been trending towards Miami for some time.
Furthermore, the Cats seem to be prioritizing a frontcourt player with their last available scholarship in 2019, should they choose to use it. Isaiah Stewart is the prize at the forward position, and Nova would gladly accept a commitment from him. In addition, Nova has jumped in late for highly-rated forward Matthew Hurt, further indicating a desire to land a frontcourt player.
There is little doubt that Wong would have fit nicely at Villanova, but his commitment to Miami is neither surprising nor particularly troubling. While the Cats remain in play for several elite 2019 prospects, it feels like Stewart is the one to watch at this point.
