Per Jake Weingarten of Stockrisers, Villanova is among a handful of schools that have reached out to Rice transfer Trey Murphy III.

Murphy just completed his sophomore season at Rice and would have two years of eligibility remaining. He averaged 13.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists this season while connecting on 39% of his three-point attempts. He is listed at 6-8, 200 pounds.

Some other schools involved include Alabama, UConn, Creighton, Arizona State, Minnesota, Texas, Cincy, Iowa State, Arizona, Stanford, and DePaul.

Word is that the list of schools contacting Murphy is growing by the day, so there will be a lot of competition here. Murphy also told Stockrisers that he knows he will conduct virtual visits with Creighton and UConn. One interesting takeaway from that is an apparent interest in the Big East.

It's unclear how strong the interest from Villanova is, but it's worth keeping an eye on Murphy.

Furthermore, it appears that Villanova will take some shots in the transfer market, as there is another piece of news that will immediately follow this one.
