Report: Bronny James Not Eyeing Villanova Transfer amid LeBron, Lakers Draft Rumors
May 2, 2024

Despite some suspect speculation making the rounds Wednesday on the internet, Bronny James is reportedly not currently on Villanova's radar.
Adam Zagoria reported Thursday that multiple sources indicated there has been no contact between Villanova and the son of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James regarding a potential transfer.
Bronny entered the 2024 NBA draft last month, but he also entered the transfer portal, reserving the right to withdraw from the draft and continue his collegiate career after playing at USC last season.
Should Bronny remain in the draft pool, there is reportedly a distinct possibility that the Lakers could take him and pair him with his father, as Shams Charania, Jovan Buha and Sam Amick of The Athletic reported this week that the Lakers are open to helping LeBron "fulfill his dream" of playing alongside Bronny.
Coming out of Sierra Canyon High School in Los Angeles, Bronny was rated as a 4-star prospect by 247Sports, as well as the No. 28 overall player and No. 6 combo guard in his recruiting class.
Expectations were sky-high for Bronny ahead of his freshman season, but he suffered cardiac arrest while training last summer and had to undergo a procedure on his heart.
That resulted in Bronny missing the first eight games of USC's 2023-24 season, and he was on a minutes restriction for much of the campaign thereafter.
Bronny went on to play in 25 games, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 19.4 minutes per contest, while shooting 36.6 percent from the field and 26.7 percent from three-point range.
That type of production wouldn't normally get a player drafted, but Bronny's link to LeBron clearly could give him a leg up and an opportunity if the Lakers are serious about pairing the father-son duo.
However, if Bronny wants to continue his college career and improve his draft stock for 2025, he should have no shortage of options at his disposal.
Per 247Sports, James had scholarship offers from Ohio State and Memphis before choosing USC, plus many other major programs showed interest, including Duke, Kansas, Kentucky and North Carolina.
One school that has gained recent momentum as a potential landing spot for Bronny is Duquesne.
The Pittsburgh-based school reached the NCAA tournament last season for the first time since 1977, and it has a new head coach in Dru Joyce III.
Joyce is a longtime friend of LeBron and was his high school teammate at St. Vincent-Saint Mary, so there is some thought that he would be willing and able to get the most out of Bronny.
Following the retirement of two-time national championship-winning head coach Jay Wright, Villanova has missed out on each of the past two NCAA tournaments, but it is still viewed as one of the most consistently great programs in college basketball.
It may have been a good spot for Bronny to develop and contribute toward a return to glory, but Zagoria's report suggests it likely isn't in the cards.
Villanova Hyped by CBB Fans After Crushing Memphis for Battle 4 Atlantis Title

For the first time since 2017 and the third time in program history, the Villanova Wildcats are Battle 4 Atlantis champions.
Villanova defeated Memphis 79-63 in dominant fashion on Friday at Imperial Arena at the Atlantis Paradise Island resort in the Bahamas to win the 2023 Battle 4 Atlantis title.
The Wildcats dominated Friday's matchup and even took a 28-point lead into halftime. While Memphis made a push in the second half, the team's first half deficit was too large to overcome.
TJ Bamba, Tyler Burton and Eric Dixon were the leaders for Villanova. Bamba finished with 13 points, three rebounds and two assists, Burton finished with 11 points, nine rebounds and two assists and Dixon finished with 11 points, eight rebounds and one assist.
David Jones was the leader for Memphis, finishing with 13 points, seven rebounds and two assists.
After the game, college basketball fans on X, formerly known as Twitter, were quick to say that the Wildcats are back in NCAA title-contending form:
Villanova just completed its best week of basketball since it advanced to the 2022 Final Four. And by far the best week that it's had under Kyle Neptune. Wildcats win the Battle 4 Atlantis.
What a first half. Villanova seems to be showing that UPenn game to be a fluke, rather than the norm - looks like an exciting Big 5 matchup coming up against St. Joe’s on Wednesday
With the Battle 4 Atlantis trophy locked up, Villanova will now gear up for a matchup against Saint Joseph's on Wednesday before taking on Kansas State on Dec. 5.

The New York Knicks appear to be assembling the 2016-17 Villanova Wildcats, and Josh Hart wants even more.
The organization signed Donte DiVincenzo Saturday, teaming him up with fellow collegiate teammates Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson. The trio were key cogs in the Wildcats 2017 national championship, and now they will look to do the same in New York.

While three former collegiate teammates on the same NBA roster is significant, a fourth is playing just a borough away. Mikal Bridges is a star for the Brooklyn Nets, but it appears that Hart wants him to make his way to Madison Square Garden, sending a tweet to his former teammate.
All three additions to the Knicks are relatively new. DiVincenzo is clearly the newest, but Hart joined the team after being dealt by the Trail Blazers midseason. Brunson is the most senior Knick, but is still only finishing his first year with the team after signing in the summer of 2022.
Bridges is also new to New York City, coming to the Nets in the Kevin Durant trade. He does have some time left with the Nets, as he is under contract through 2026. The Nets have also expressed that they are not interested in moving Bridges.
The four are the only current NBA players from the 2016-17 National Champion squad. Eric Paschall last played in 21-22.
Villanova's Cam Whitmore Declares for 2023 NBA Draft; Projected Lottery Pick
Apr 11, 2023

Villanova Wildcats forward Cam Whitmore has declared for the 2023 NBA draft, he told The Athletic and Stadium's Shams Charania.
"First and foremost, I just want to thank God for allowing me to be in this position I am in today and just allowing me to guide me in the right steps to be a successful man," the projected lottery pick said. "I just want to thank my parents, my mom and my dad for always striving to encourage me to be the best person I can be."
He added: "I want to thank my teammates and coaches at Villanova University for allowing me and encouraging me to be a better basketball player and a complete basketball player."
Villanova University freshman Cam Whitmore – a projected top 10 pick – tells me he is entering the 2023 NBA Draft. Our sitdown: pic.twitter.com/mldqW0mRCi
"Whitmore is a polarizing prospect. Some love his potential as a shot creator, and I count myself among that group. He's a terrific driver and above-the-rim finisher. Athletically, he's a powerful 230-pound force; defenders bounce off him on his way to the basket.
"Away from the basket, his handle is relatively developed in terms of change of pace, and he can separate from his man to get to his stepback regularly. The jumper is a work in progress, but he did hit 34 percent of his 3s on a difficult shot diet that featured a ton of contested looks."
After missing the beginning of the 2022-23 season following thumb surgery, Whitmore was named the Big East Freshman of the Year after averaging 12.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 26 games while shooting 47.8 percent from the floor and 34.3 percent from deep.
Whitmore helped lead Villanova into the National Invitation Tournament, where the Wildcats fell to Liberty in the first round and finished the season with a 17-17 record under first-year head coach Kyle Neptune.
Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman projected Whitmore to be selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the 10th overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft in his post-March Madness mock draft.
"A best-player-available search could lead to Whitmore. He'll enter the league with the type of power, explosiveness and shot-making for instant transition offense, slashing, finish and streak shooting," Wasserman wrote.
While speaking with Charania, Whitmore said he looks up to Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and models his game after two-way players such as Boston Celtics stars Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Los Angeles Clippers' Paul George.
As for what he wants NBA fans to know, Whitmore said he's the type of person and player who is "a competitor, always wants to win, always brings that joy toward the team and coaching staff."
The 2023 draft is scheduled for June 22. Victor Wembanyama is widely expected to go first overall.
Villanova's Cam Whitmore, Projected NBA Lottery Pick, to Have Surgery on Thumb Injury

Villanova announced Friday freshman forward Cam Whitmore will have surgery on his right thumb.
"We're disappointed for Cam," head coach Kyle Neptune said. "Throughout the preseason he's worked hard to learn our concepts and what it takes to be effective in the Big East. This is temporary setback, though, and we know Cam will approach his rehab with a great attitude."
Whitmore will be re-evaluated in early November to determine when he might return.
The Maryland native was the No. 14 overall player in 247Sports' composite rankings for the 2022 class. He was also projected as the No. 5 overall pick in the most recent mock draft for Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman.
"Explosive, physical and energetic, Whitmore has developed a knack for earning easy baskets by tapping into his strength, leaping and motor," Wasserman wrote. "But it's still his budding skill level as a shot-maker and passer that has changed his perceived trajectory.
"Between his 6'7", 232-pound frame and athletic abilities, and improved shooting and ball skills, Whitmore comes off as a high-floor, high-ceiling fit for every roster."
Whitmore's status for the start of the 2022-23 season is now thrown into flux. It seems reasonable to expect him to miss at least a few games, with the Wildcats opening the campaign Nov. 7 against La Salle.
He isn't the only Villanova player battling an injury, either.
Justin Moore is still recovering from his Achilles tear in March. Caleb Daniels is nursing a broken nose. And Trey Patterson suffered a sports hernia.
Succeeding a legendary head coach such as Jay Wright is never easy. All of these injuries aren't doing Neptune any favors as he prepares for his first year in charge.
Jay Wright Says He 'Didn't Have The Edge' Anymore After Retirement From Villanova
Apr 22, 2022

In his first public comments since announcing his retirement as the Villanova men's basketball coach, Jay Wright addressed why he decided to walk away from the program after 21 seasons.
Speaking to reporters Friday, Wright said he "started to feel like I didn’t have the edge that I’ve always had."
The 60-year-old went on to say he "just knew it was the right time" to step down because he didn't feel like he would be able to give 100 percent to the team.
"The edge always came natural to me," Wright said. "So I started evaluating. I would never have to think about anything. I started to think like, 'I have to get myself fired up here. Let’s go.'"
Wright went on to say that some of the changes in college sports, particularly name, image and likeness rules, played a small part in his decision.
"I'm so impressed with how we handled NIL as a team," he said. "Some of our guys made really good money. And they had 3.8 GPAs and they went to a Final Four. But there is a side of it where ... [new Villanova head coach Kyle Neptune and our younger assistants] are at another level than me when it comes to that stuff. They're really visionary about it. And I feel like I'm the coach that's trying to keep up with it. That impacted us where we felt like this is a good time."
The results on the court didn't suggest that Wright was losing his touch. The Wildcats won the Big East tournament and were the No. 2 seed in the South Region for the NCAA tournament. They advanced to the Final Four before losing to Kansas.
Wright was hired as Villanova men's basketball coach in March 2001. He took over a program that made just four NCAA tournament appearances in the previous 10 seasons and hadn't advanced past the second round since the 1987-88 season.
The Wildcats turned into a national powerhouse under Wright. They made 16 NCAA tournament appearances, winning two national titles in 2016 and 2018. He is the program's all-time leader with 520 career victories.
Neptune, who was an assistant on Wright's staff from 2013-21, went 16-16 last season at Fordham in his first stint as a head coach.

One of the most prominent figures in all of college basketball is retiring this offseason.
Villanova head coach Jay Wright announced his retirement Wednesday:
Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium previously reported Wright was "likely retiring," which "means a succession plan is in order for the university." Charania noted the 60-year-old coach took his family into account when making the decision:
Sources say Jay Wright’s decision to retire after 21 legendary seasons as Villanova head coach is based largely to wanting to spend more time with his family, including his wife Patty and three children. https://t.co/0A1iWPNSTC
Wright has been on the sidelines for Villanova since the 2001-02 season and has led the program to two NCAA championships (2016 and 2018).
It appears television, and not the NBA, is in his future:
There's been significant NBA interest in Jay Wright through the years, but sources tell ESPN that his intention is to retire from coaching --- not only Villanova. Those who've talked to Wright don't believe the NBA holds appeal to him -- not now, or in future.
Been told by a former staffer and close friend that the plan is for Jay Wright to rest and likely do television. He will be highly coveted in the broadcasting space by all networks who cover the sport.
Villanova also announced it hired Fordham head coach Kyle Neptune to take over for Wright.
While it seems like a sudden move, especially in comparison to the yearlong retirement tour from Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski, Matt Norlander of CBS Sports reported that Wright was "privately weighing this for months."
He ends his tenure as one of the best college basketball coaches of his generation.
Prior to Villanova, Wright coached at Hofstra from 1994-95 through 2000-01 and won two America East Conference regular-season titles and two AEC conference tournament titles while making the NCAA men's basketball tournament twice.
Hofstra has not been to the Big Dance since and hadn't been there since the 1976-77 season prior to Wright's time with the program.
Yet he will be best remembered for his time at Villanova when he went 520-197 with two national championships, four Final Four appearances, eight regular-season conference crowns and five conference tournament titles.
Wright coached five consensus All-Americans with the Wildcats in Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Scottie Reynolds, Randy Foye and Allan Ray, and Brunson is a key piece for an NBA playoff team this season.
The bar is quite high for Neptune, who was with Fordham for just the 2021-22 season and went 16-16.
Yet he is familiar with the Villanova program and Wright's success considering he was an assistant coach for the Wildcats for eight seasons before accepting the head-coaching position with the Rams.
"During his time at Villanova, Kyle has demonstrated all the qualities you want to see in a young coach—commitment, passion, and the ability to communicate with young people," Wright previously said of his assistant. "He is a well-rounded and talented young coach who we are thrilled to have with us."
He is back with the Wildcats in a headlining role now.
No. 1 Kansas Beats No. 2 Villanova in Final Four to Advance to 2022 NCAA Championship

The Kansas Jayhawks will play for the 10th national championship in school history after their 81-65victory over the Villanova Wildcats in the 2022 NCAA men's basketball tournament Saturday night.
Kansas has been arguably the most dominant team in the tournament thus far. It blew out Miami 76-50 in the Elite Eight to secure the program's 16th appearance in the Final Four. The Jayhawks have now won 10 straight games overall dating back to March 3.
Villanova cruised into the Final Four by winning its first four tournament games by an average of 11 points. Head coach Jay Wright's crew had won nine straight games and 14 of their last 15 overall dating back to Feb. 5.
The Jayhawks stormed out of the gate in the first half. They led by as many as 19 points before Villanova cut the deficit down to 38-29 with 1:24 remaining before halftime.
Kansas made nearly as many three-pointers (seven) in the first half as Villanova had field goals (10). Ochai Agbaji was a perfect 4-of-4 from behind the arc in the first 20 minutes.
Offensive rebounding was the biggest factor keeping Villanova within shouting distance. It had nine offensive rebounds in the first half, helping to offset a 33.3 percent field-goal percentage.
Collin Gillespie and Caleb Daniels combined for 19 of the Wildcats' 29 points in the opening half.
McCormack's size inside proved to be a crucial difference-maker in the win. His 25 points marked his second-highest point total in a game in four seasons with the Jayhawks.
Kansas shot 53.7 percent from the field, 54.2 percent from three, and had a 35-28 rebounding advantage. Villanova eventually found a rhythm on offense, finishing 13-of-31 from behind the arc, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Jayhawks' onslaught.
Notable Game Stats
David McCormack (KU): 25 points (10-of-12 FG), 9 rebounds
McCormack, Ogbaji Have Jayhawks on Brink of History
It would be hard to find an offense playing better than Kansas' right now. Saturday marked the team's third time in five tournament games shooting at least 50 percent from the field.
McCormack and Agbaji were unstoppable for the Big 12 champs. Since being held to five points against Providence, Agbaji has hit a groove. The senior guard at one point made eight consecutive three-pointers dating back to the Elite Eight win over Miami.
Kansas leads Villanova by 11 at the break behind the nearly flawless play of Ochai Agbaji and David McCormack.

With Agbaji taking care of business behind the arc, McCormack was more than happy to hold his own in the paint. The 6'10" forward had no problem taking advantage of Villanova's undersized frontcourt.
David McCormack has been a beast so far tonight. Scoring in the post, running the floor and finishing. No one utilizes his big men quite like Bill Self, and McCormack has been taking advantage of Dixon or whoever he has on the switch.
Villanova certainly didn't go away quietly in this game. The second half is when the offense came alive, putting the pressure on Kansas to respond.
Two of the biggest plays saw McCormack use his size to halt the Wildcats' momentum. He grabbed an offensive rebound off Dajuan Harris Jr.'s' missed three and got a layup to extend the lead back to 10 at 52-42.

Three minutes later, Jalen Wilson blocked a jumper from Gillespie. McCormack got the ball on the other end of the court and slammed it home to put the Jayhawks up 62-50.
Coming out of a timeout after that possession, McCormack was taken off the floor for a brief rest. Villanova's next two possessions resulted in two offensive rebounds and five points to get within seven at 62-55.
Christian Braun, who ranked second on the Jayhawks in scoring during the regular season, eventually got hot. He made two crucial buckets on back-to-back possessions, including his only three to make it a 71-59 game with 3:58 left to play.
— NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessMBB) April 2, 2022
The Jayhawks have scored at least 76 points in four of their five tournament wins thus far. They dropped 81against Villanova on a night when three of their five starters were struggling to get in rhythm.
If the offense continues to play at this level, Kansas will be cutting down the nets on Monday and celebrating the fourth national title in school history.
Cold Start Sends Wildcats Home
Things could not have started worse for the Wildcats on Saturday night. They only had one shot attempt and committed three turnovers on their first four possessions to find themselves in a 10-0 hole.
Midway through the first half, McCormack and Agbaji had matched or exceeded Villanova's point total.
Ochai Agbaji: 12 points David McCormack: 11 points
Wright's team came into the game unable to match the size Kansas had inside, especially with McCormack, so the strategy had to be win with speed and shooting.
It took a long time—too long, ultimately—before Villanova was able to play up to its usual standard. The Wildcats failed to hit the 30-point mark in a half for the third consecutive half dating back to the Elite Eight.
Villanova scored at least 30 points in every half in each of its first three tournament games.
The key adjustment that gave the Wildcats a glimmer of hope was Wright switching to a smaller lineup of perimeter shooters. McCormack lives in the paint on both ends of the court, so the numbers game worked for Villanova.
Jay Wright going small early in the second half has changed the complexion of this one. McCormack checking back in after a quick breather to counter Dixon. Looks tired.
After Kansas opened the second half on an 8-3 run, Villanova rattled off eight consecutive points. Daniels and Brandon Slater made threes on back-to-back possessions to cap off the run.
— NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessMBB) April 2, 2022
The last time Villanova would get within single digits came at the 4:29 mark when Jermaine Samuels' free throw made it a 68-59 score.
Kansas would score the next seven points to put the game out of reach.
Villanova's bench was missing in action Saturday. Bryan Antoine scored the only points for the reserves (three). The Jayhawks bench only had five points, but they did have two players attempt at least one shot.
The story for Villanova all season was the offense. If it was scoring points in bunches, this team was hard to beat. If the defense had to step up, things got dicey.
The Wildcats had an off night with the ball, and it wound up being their undoing.
What's Next?
Kansas will play the winner of North Carolina-Duke in the national championship game on Monday at 9 p.m. ET on TBS.
Villanova's Justin Moore Suffers Torn Achilles Injury During Elite 8 Win vs. Houston

The Villanova Wildcats announced on Sunday that junior guard Justin Moore tore his right Achilles tendon during Saturday's Elite 8 win over Houston.
Head coach Jay Wright released the following statement:
This is a tough blow for all of us, not just because of the great player Justin is, but because of what he means to us as teammates and coaches. As one of our captains, Justin has been an integral part of our success. He helps our team in so many ways. Every game, he guards the opponent's best scorer and is one of the toughest rebounding guards we have had in our time at Villanova. Justin's work ethic and dedication will help bring him through this recovery and we look forward to the day where we see him back on the court fully healthy.
Moore was a second-team All-Big East selection this past season, averaging 14.8 points and 4.8 rebounds 34.6 minutes per game across 36 contests.
In four tournament games, he averaged 13 points, 2.5 rebounds and three assists.
South Region All-Tournament Team:
Jamal Shead Collin Gillespie Caleb Daniels Justin Moore Jermaine Samuels
"A lot of our guys ran right over to him because we're not in the position we are without [Justin Moore]. We just wanted to go over to him and just appreciate what he does for us and know that we got his back."
Villanova, which faces one-seed Kansas next Saturday in the Final Four, now has major depth issues. Six Wildcats (Moore, Collin Gillespie, Jermaine Samuels, Caleb Daniels, Eric Dixon and Brandon Slater) have averaged 25 or more minutes per game this season.
While no other players on Villanova are averaging double-digit minutes per game, four players—Jordan Longino, Chris Arcidiacono, Bryan Antoine and Trey Patterson—have at least appeared in 15 or more games.
Villanova’s Justin Moore has suffered torn Achilles, school confirms. So sad, and also a brutal blow to the Wildcats national title hopes.
Of that group, only Arcidiacono has appeared in all four tournament games, playing a grand total of 15 minutes. Antoine has played 19 minutes across three tourney games, while Patterson has played just two minutes.
Furthermore, Longino recently underwent arthroscopic surgery for a meniscus tear, further testing the limits of a shortened rotation.
The 30-7 Wildcats will still have four seniors playing huge minutes and remain one of the most composed and disciplined teams in college basketball. But depth is a major concern, especially against a Kansas team that will look to push the pace and play fast, hoping to wear out a thin rotation in the process.
