Summer Jam at Villanova. No Luigi Suigo. Kevin Willard says the Italian big man should be on campus later this week. But there’s Matt Hodge shooting a jumper. Willard less effusive about his likelihood for the opener than he was with me last month. pic.twitter.com/lQ39rG9RJz

Don’t sleep on Jake Fiegen this year.

He has made at least 7 three-pointers.

Portal steal.

Tough to have any real takeaways with a few key players not participating in scrimmaging, but Elijah Crawford, Jake Fiegen, and Buddy Simmons have looked pretty good.

Fiegen had three 3s in quick succession.
