Villanova Lands Top 2026 Shooting Guard

0:00On March 11th, Big News and College Hoops, recruiting as Adam Umandak, the number 53 overall prospect in the class of 2026, has committed to Villanova. The 6'5, 180-pound shooting guard was previously pledged to St. John's but decided to reopen his recruitment before choosing. To stay in the Big East with the Wildcats, he had offers from schools like Oregon, LSU, and Illinois, making this a competitive chase for one of the top available talents this cycle. For Villanova, this marks their first commitment in the 2026 class, adding a skilled scorer who's crafty with the ball and has a soft, shooting touch, though he needs to build strength and improve his defense. Umandak's pledge boosts the Wildcats' future back court, setting the stage for more moves as they build out this recruiting group.
