Villanova Recruiting
Villanova Men’s Basketball Sends Out Flood of Offers

Villanova Men’s Basketball’s coaching staff is hard at work assembling a roster for future seasons, offering more than half a dozen recruits between the classes of 2026 and 2027 in recent days.
In addition to an offer for Jaxon Richardson, a five-star recruit and the No. 6 player in the class of 2026 per ESPN, the Wildcats tendered offers to 2026 prospects Cole Cloer, ESPN’s No. 25 prospect and a 6-foot-7 small forward; Justin Caldwell (No. 188 nationally, per 247Sports); Kohl Rosario, a 6-foot-6 wing given the No. 98 composite ranking, and Anthony Brown, a three-star lead guard with a nose for the basket.
New 2027 offers include Cayden Daughtry (No. 26 nationally, four-star point guard); 6-foot-10 center and No. 13 overall prospect Darius Wabbington; No. 37 prospect Brandon Woodard, a 6-foot-7 power forward out of Forestville, Md., and Ian Condon, a forward currently flying under the radar.
Villanova put out a series of offers for both the classes of 2026 and 2027 during the Kyle Neptune era, but without much continuity between his regime and new head coach Kevin Willard’s — assistant coach Ashley Howard is the lone member of the staff retained from last season — some of those connections may have tapered out.
