Wall Street Journal Article on Villanova

He recruits guys that are not "one and done", redshirts while they gain strength and technique, goes for proven winners (state/regional champs, etc.) and team players. I'd be happy with a potion of their success!

Didn’t we just have a discussion where some people recommended that we not redshirt players?
That was in football to avoid guys leaving as grad transfers. I think a mandatory redshirt year is an interesting way to combat the transfer epidemic in men’s basketball. It would force players to sacrifice a year of eligibility if they wanted to transfer.
