Hello. I will be reviewing this GAN. I will put my initial comments in shortly. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 19:58, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here are my initial thoughts:

Overall:
Pass or Fail:

Currently, this article is not looking like it is going to pass. This article was created about 2 weeks ago and his senior year (this year) isn't even over yet, which could end up developing a lot more content. It is stable, no edit wars have occurred, its neutral, and it has sources, but it lacks images, diagrams, et al and it just is a premature article IMO. I haven't checked for MOS and prose, but even with that being good, this article is premature. And looking at their current ranking, they are likely going to play in the NCAA tournament, so give it some time to develop more and then once that has occurred, we can try again. Sorry.

@Editorofthewiki: - Sorry to do this to you, but I'm officially failing this GA nominee for a few reasons, most of which are covered above. In short, this article has only existed for 13 days As of February 21, 2014 and Villanova's season isn't over, meaning his season statistics are not ready yet. I encourage you to continue filling in statistics and information as it goes. If there was enough information down, I'd pass this, but it's simply premature. Best of luck, Sportsguy17 (T • C) 22:11, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So what you are saying is that I should renominate after the season is over? There are several college basketball players who have GAs now, such as, ell, almost the entire Michigan team. If you think it needs more info, I can add more about other notable games. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 00:55, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
