    Villanova adds Ohio State transfer Devin Royal, set to host DJ Wagner

    Kevin Willard continues to re-make the Villanova roster heading into Year 2.

    After landing big man Kwame Evans Jr. on Monday, the Wildcats also secured a commitment from Ohio State transfer Devin Royal, a 6-foot-6 wing who averaged 13.7 points and 5.7 rebounds last season. Royal visited campus Monday.

    Villanova is also hosting Camden, N.J. native and Arkansas transfer DJ Wagner on Tuesday.

    A former No. 1 recruit in his class, Wagner averaged 7.4 points and 2.4 assists last season under John Calipari. He played his freshman season for Calipari at Kentucky before following the Hall of Fame coach to Arkansas.

    Wagner would help fill the void after the Wildcats lost guards Acaden Lewis and Bryce Lindsay to the NBA Draft and the portal.

    Villanova finished third in the Big East this past season and lost to Utah State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
