A new batch of high school seniors make commitments today. Who will visit us this month? St. Nicholas or Krampus?

We must be on the nice list.

First of all, we learn that Charlie Lambert will be playing for us next season. Here's a closer look at him:

In modern basketball parlance, Charlie is a stretch four, willing and able to pull jumpers from behind the three-point arc. He's not strictly a perimeter player, however; he's comfortable near the basket, finishing at the rim, rebounding, and altering shots. He can guard four positions decently.

We can be patient with Charlie, since Savion Wells and Chris Woolstenhulme will be around for at least one more year.

Then, we discover we've beaten out Georgetown for the commitment of Max Bennett! The Hoyas made an offer to another player at Max's position, five-star recruit Brian Bishop. Perhaps Max and his family have decided he'll have a better chance for playing time over the course of his career at Villanova. Either way, I'm delighted that he's staying home and playing for us.

Welcome to the Villanova basketball family!

How did we do at hitting our recruiting targets? We landed a big man, Charlie Lambert. He's not a traditional post player, and he's not the kind of player we assume we'll have for only three years, but he could certainly be a starter for a Final Four team. Matt Valentine is listed as a shooting guard, but he has the skills to run our offense, and he can guard players in the post. He looks like a plug-and-play guy whom we can utilize in a variety of roles. Max Bennett projects as an offensive threat from the perimeter, a player who is likely to play for four years and develop into a key player.

We don't have a headline-grabbing, highly-touted recruit in this class, but I like the guys we have.
