After initially committing to Kentucky in November, Lewis decommitted on April 10, just days after the Wildcats added former Pittsburgh guard Jaland Lowe.
Lewis' connection with Villanova began during his sophomore year, when he transferred to Sidwell Friends School (Washington, D.C). In an interview with ESPN on May 1, he spoke about the trust he developed with the coaching staff over the years.
"The staff I ultimately had the most trust in was Nova," Lewis said. "We built a relationship since my sophomore year, when I first transferred to Sidwell. Kevin Willard and his staff were among the first high-major coaches to recruit me at Maryland.
"I have built a great relationship with them and have immense trust that I will thrive and they will let me be me."
Lewis played three seasons for Sidwell Friends, averaging 11.7 points, 2.4 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.1 blocks in 70 games.
As a freshman, he posted 8.7 ppg in 31 games. In his sophomore year, he averaged 14.5 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 4.3 apg and 1.5 spg in 30 games.
In his senior year, he played nine games, averaging 12.6 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 3.9 apg, 1.7 spg and 0.3 bpg. Sidwell finished the season with a 24-6 record.
