One day after taking out No. 4 Xavier to stay in the mix for a fifth straight Big East regular season title, Villanova was back on the recruiting trail.
The Wildcats went three deep with Jay Wright, Ash Howard and Kyle Neptune watching Class of 2019 stars Bryan Antoine and Scottie Lewis.
Lewis scored 23 points and Antoine had 21 as top-seeded Ranney School beat No. 8 Toms River North, 76-52 in the Shore Conference quarterfinals.

Lewis lists Kentucky, Duke, Florida, Notre Dame, Harvard, St. John’s and Villanova among his suitors, while Antoine has yet to issue a formal list but hears from Villanova, Kentucky, Duke, Florida, Harvard and Rutgers, among others.
Villanova landed Hudson Catholic point guard Jahvon Quinerly last week and has a long tradition of success with New Jersey guards, including Corey Fisher, Corey Stokes and Mike Nardi.
