I still think he needs another year. Oh well.
That black jersey can leave too if it wants...www.myspace.com0 -
Nova keeps on keeping on with this Verbal Commit.
I've seen him play a few times and he's really good. About 6' 8" with length. Does everything really well, expect a consistent 3-point shot. But I think will come.
In the article Jay Gomes of NJ Hoops is pretty much what I think of him. But, I don't think he's quite what Al Harrington was in HS. I may have to give Jay some shit for that>LOL. He does have another year of HS though. so we'll see.Trey Patterson, Rutgers Prep basketball star, picks Villanova

The Class of 2021 forward should fit right in with the Wildcats' culture.Rutgers Prep runs from kindergarten to 12th grade, and around the campus, even the toddlers know Trey Patterson.
Of course, at 6-foot-8, the basketball star is easily recognizable. But he’s also personable.
“Those interactions sum him up,” Argonauts coach Matt Bloom said. “He’s a tremendous student-athlete, but the fact that the 3- and 4-year-olds know him by name tells you everything you need to know.”
They’ll know him by name in the Philadelphia area soon. Patterson, who just finished up his junior year, announced his commitment to Villanova University Thursday. He chose the Wildcats over Florida and Indiana. Rutgers also was in the running for a while.

“That’s a good spot for him,” said Jay Gomes, publisher of NJHoops.com and the Garden State’s foremost talent evaluator. “I don’t think he’s one of these kids who has to go in there and be the man, and then it doesn’t work out. He’ll accept his role and work hard — and his role will increase.”
“You’re getting a hard-working, drive kid who is going to compete and hopefully bring back another national championship for Villanova.”
Patterson is coming off a sensational season. He averaged 19.8 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game to lead Rutgers Prep a 27-2 record and its first Somerset County Tournament title since 1983. The Argonauts reached the sectional finals of the state tournament before falling to powerhouse Wildwood Catholic.
“He competes very hard,” Gomes said. “He doesn’t coast on his ability. A lot of kids don’t learn to adjust their competitiveness (as they move up the ranks). He’s ratcheted up his motor.”
Patterson, who hails from Somerset, is rated four stars and ranked as the No. 34 prospect in the Class of 2021 by 247Sports.com. He projects as a power forward on the next level — for now.
“He’s a decent 3-point shooter and he puts the ball on the floor,” Gomes said. “I wouldn’t say he’s a wing yet, but in another year or two he could be.”
Villanova, of course, has had great success with forwards who developed guard skills. Saddiq Bey, who is expected to be chosen in the first round of October's NBA Draft, is the latest example.“I feel like I can fit into their style very well,” Patterson said during his announcement on YouTube. “Over the past couple of years they’ve done an excellent job with players of my type. They know how to develop kids in order to reach their goals and reach the next level.”
Gomes said his game is reminiscent of Al Harrington, the former St. Patrick superstar who jumped straight to the NBA in 1998.
“The word that comes to mind is versatility,” said Bloom, a former college basketball operations staffer at Rutgers University and La Salle. “He’s a matchup problem for any opponent. He’s at his best when he rebounds above the rim and pushes it in transition, and that’s where basketball is headed.”
In closing out his announcement, Patterson delivered a message to Villanova fans.
“You’re getting a hard-working, drive kid who is going to compete and hopefully bring back another national championship for Villanova," he said.

Yea Hawks message board seems to think Diggins is a UConn lock. Mitchell's parents both went to Temple and his mom played ball when McKie was there so there are some ties there.cutz said:

Welp. I guess I’m gonna hate this kid. Like having UCONN back in the conference though.cutz said:www.myspace.com0 -
He had a nova offer but I’ve seen some talk that nova has their sights on other point guards over Diggins. They are big on a kid named brizzi who is getting a lot of big looksThe Juggler said:

Yes, Danny Hurley is too much on the sideline when he's coaching. I think he's a good coach though. I'm sure Nova players/fans will remember that quote from Diggins.pjhawks said:

Nova recruiting Stevie Mitchell too. I haven't seen Brizzi play at all. In fact I never knew about him until recently. I'll ask my friend if he has. No, he hasn't seen him play.

The staff is great.”California: “They are a top-tier academic institution and the chance to play in the Pac-12 would be very cool.”Colorado: “Playing in the Pac-12 would be awesome and I’ve really enjoyed speaking with the entire staff.”Dartmouth: “The Ivy League aspect is very attractive to me, they have great academics.”Davidson: “Having the chance to lead a program, and coach [Bob] McKillop has done a very good job with guards in the past, such as Stephen Curry.”Northwestern: “I really like their campus and their staff!”According to 247Sports.com, Brizzi is ranked as the No. 19 point guard and No. 128 overall player in the Class of 2021.“I feel that I have a really strong ability to shoot from range off the dribble and off the catch as well,” he said.

https://www.vuhoops.com/2020/7/27/21333510/villanova-basketball-recruiting-2021-angelo-brizzi-commitmentAngelo Brizzi commits to Villanova
Jay Wright gets his man in the backcourt.
By Chris Lane@chrisjjlane Jul 27, 2020, 7:04pm EDT
Jay Wright and the Villanova Wildcats staff landed another big pledge when 3-star guard Angelo Brizzi verballed on Monday evening.Brizzi came onto the national radar this Spring right as the pandemic began, which probably doesn’t do his #117 national ranking justice. Even with the AAU season cancelled, Brizzi has collected offers from Villanova, Arizona, Michigan, Georgetown, LSU, Wake Forest and California after mostly being on the mid-major range entering the Spring.
Brizzi attends Highland (Va.) and has good size for the backcourt at 6’3”. He’s already a plus shooter and passer and isn’t afraid to attack the rim or pull up from anywhere as one of the top shooters in the class. He also shows off a great demeanor and attitude on the court which likely sold the Wildcats staff on him even without the traditional recruiting process. They were one of the first high major schools to offer him and it has paid off in kind.
With Brizzi’s commitment, Villanova can now turn its focus squarely on Trevor Keels to round out their 2021 recruiting class.
Welcome to ‘Nova Nation, Angelo!
