Brendan originally committed in September and will visit the Villanova campus on Monday
The prevailing question among the players on the Zoom was why it took so long for Wright to make his decision.His response was twofold: He wanted to be sure about his decision and thorough in making sure the program was in the best position to be carried on the right way.
"During this season, it started to hit me," Wright expounded at his retirement press conference two days later. "I started to look at where my coaching was. Everybody being in place: our staff, the team. We wanted to leave this in a better place than we found it. And we wanted it to be strong and in a great position when we left.”After the joint call, Wright made personal calls to each of the three signed prospects to apologize and assure.
“He just told me that I was gonna be in great hands and that he’d be there with me,” Hausen said. “It helps for sure that he’s there, but, man, I wanted to play for him so bad.”Calls to Whitmore and Armstrong were not immediately returned. “I love the school, but I love Coach Wright,” said Hausen, who is taking a visit to Villanova today. “I looked up to him so much and I wanted to play for him so bad. I’m gonna talk to my family and feel things out; obviously I want to get to know Coach Neptune and feel him out. It’s crunch time though.
"I will say that I love that the staff is staying in place. It’s a real family there. Like real family atmosphere. I want to get to know Coach Neptune and see what his plans are and how he sees me fitting in. At the end of the day, he’s subbing me in and out and making the decisions, so I have to feel him out then I’ll go from there.”
