Villanova will not be adding Rice transfer Trey Murphy III, who announced his commitment to Virginia on Monday afternoon.
Murphy proved himself to be a potent three-point threat at Rice, and it would have been interesting to see him operate in Nova's system. Alas, we'll never know for sure what that would have looked like.
Murphy is a sit one, play two transfer, so he wouldn't have had an impact next season, but would have become a part of an important 2021 class for Villanova.
The two transfers that have been most linked to Villanova, Murphy and Johnny Juzang (committed to UCLA), are now off the board. It remains to be seen if Jay Wright will look into another remaining transfer or shift attention to the high school ranks, where the Cats have also been busy.
Regardless, things should remain busy as the Cats look to build out that 2021 class.
