Potentially huge swing player for Nova. Cats added five players in the portal who put up 13 ppg last year, but center was a big void without Suigo. Now they add a possible lottery pick in 2027.

Film on Luigi Suigo, DX's No. 28 prospect in the 2026 NBA Draft.
He averaged 7.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.0 block in 18 minutes for Mega Superbet in the Adriatic League.
Should be able to boost his 2027 draft outlook considerably with a strong season in the Big East.

NEWS: Luigi Suigo has withdrawn from the NBA Draft and committed to Villanova, Sigma Sports and Excel Sports tell DraftExpress.
The 7'4, 289-pound 19-year-old will be a physical outlier in the Big East who can pass, space the floor, protect the rim, and finish effectively.

A reminder that Flo Balogun would not be on the US Men's National Team if Trump's birthright citizenship order was in place when he was born in NY. The first US man to score more than one goal in a World Cup match since the very first World Cup in 1930.

Also of note: Mikal Bridges with 25 on 9-14 shooting, and a 22-point/ 10-rebound double-double for Alpha Diallo.
One of the better Big East champ games we’ve seen in recent time.
Throwing it back to the 2018 Big East title game when Providence and Villanova battled into OT.
Jalen Brunson matched a career-high with 31, while Kyron Cartwright went off in the second half for the Friars.

Good stuff from Tom here on new Villanova guard Buddy Simmons. The third-leading scorer in the A10 last year, Simmons hit threes at a 42% clip.
A Detroit native who prepped at Putnam Science. Here's a look at his game. @thefull40 @beastmodebuddy
From the desk(s) of @Kevin_Farrahar and I: Fresh off a tremendous season at St. Bonaventure, Buddy Simmons II (@beastmodebuddy) brings tremendous scoring value to a new-look Villanova backcourt.

#BREAKING: Brazilian forward Pedro Pastre has committed to Georgetown, per @TravisBranham_.
The 6’5” forward averaged 7.6 PPG, 4.3 RPG, and 1.5 APG in Brazil’s NBB this past season while showcasing his versatility and feel for the game.
Born in 2007, Pastre adds another intriguing young piece to Ed Cooley’s roster and gives the Hoyas additional international talent and frontcourt depth heading into 2026-27.
Welcome to the Hilltop, Pedro! 💙

Gotta love when a @Newsweek hack rushes to get a “Caitlin Clark trade to Sparks rumor” piece out for engagement farming, and forgets to delete their AI chat prompts from the piece.

Anyone else remember this one? Providence vs. Boston College in the TD Garden a few years after the Eagles jumped to the ACC.
Weyinmi Efejuku with the late heroics for the Friars and Greedy Peterson adds the exclamation point. From December 2007:
