HOUSTON — A summer full of basketball isn’t unusual. But this year’s summer ball carries a bit more meaning for Cam Whitmore and Mark Armstrong.
Besides playing alongside other blue-chip recruits from across the country, the experience gave them a taste of what to expect in college with early wake-up calls and long practices. There aren’t any parents to make sure they get up on time at training camp in Houston, and their parents certainly aren’t following them to Villanova.
“It’s obvious why Villanova’s had a lot of success in college basketball with two players like [Whitmore and Armstrong] and I’m sure many more like them in their program,” Boyle said. “Both terrific young men. Very different players, different personalities, but really talented kids and terrific in terms of the kind of people they are off the court.”
Added Whitmore: “Just the connections. Coach Kyle was there before, so nothing really changed. It was just a different person. The culture’s going to be the same. The same coaches are staying. The players came back.”How Kyle Neptune's Brooklyn basketball roots led him to the top job at Villanova
