Villanova has been linked with another transfer, this time DII transfer Max Jones. Per Tampa's athletic site, Jones averaged 22.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 rebounds per game last season, shooting 48.2% overall and 35.1% from 3. Some other high majors that have been connected to Jones are Alabama, LSU, Virginia, Iowa, Texas A&M and Wisconsin. Jones is listed at 6-5, 205.
Jones was a freshman last season, and that combined with his DII pedigree makes one wonder if in house options like Angelo Brizzi or incoming freshman Mark Armstrong wouldn't be as good or better options. Up to this point, all of the transfers Nova has been linked to have been experienced guards who have competed at higher levels, and you'd have to think that those options would be preferable to Jones. Still, something else to keep an eye on as we move into an uncharted offseason.
