Acaden Lewis to pursue college basketball with Villanova

At first, Lewis had committed to Kentucky in November. He also shared a great relationship with Coach Mark Pope. However, he decommitted in April when former Pittsburgh guard Jaland Lowe joined the Wildcats.

He later committed to Villanova on May 1. Talking about his decision to join Villanova over offers from Georgia, Syracuse, Duke, Tennessee, Louisville and more, he said:

"The staff I ultimately had the most trust in was Nova. 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.

"I want to play, and I want the pressure on me and my teammates' shoulders to navigate and step up to a challenge."

As the four-star player graduates, he is set to begin his college basketball career.
