Villanova signee Dylan Painter joined 2018 5-star Cameron Reddish at the Villanova-Georgetown game earlier. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was there too - 'Nova has been attracting plenty of NBA talent this year.

Get excited for more of this on the Main Line next season.

A source tells me five-star 2017 G Lonnie Walker is in attendance. Looks like 2016 commits Omari Spellman and Dylan Painter also here

The biggest game at the Pavilion in years has brought in the recruits as well!

Dylan Painter committed to Villanova in mid-September. It will be good to have him on campus for the biggest recruiting event of the year.

Four-star forward Lamar Stevens announced that he has committed to Penn State. Welcome to the family, @LamarStevens11!

Local class of 2016 wing Lamar Stevens from Roman Catholic (Pa.) picked Pat Chambers and Penn State over Villanova. The 6'6" small forward is ranked #77 by 24/7, #70 by ESPN, and #90 by Scout.

ESPN 100 DeAndre Hunter was visited by Saint Joseph's, Villanova and Notre Dame yesterday. Virginia expected today.

Hunter picked up a Villanova offer in late July, and then took an unofficial visit to campus in early August. He's scheduled 4 of his 5 official visits and is trying to make a decision in the fall.

The 6'6" 2016 forward from Friends' Central School made some notable cuts from his extensive offer list, including Temple and North Carolina State.

Painter will be on campus August 25th and 26th for an official visit, and then will trip to Penn State on September 12th for another official. He plans to make visits to all remaining schools (minus Xavier, who he already visited) before making a decision.

Creighton, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Notre Dame and Villanova are still in the hunt - but he hasn't completely eliminated Syracuse or Davidson. With official visits scheduled to Notre Dame and Maryland so far, he's looking at an October decision.
