The Wildcats secure a 7‑foot‑3 Italian center, adding size and experience to a revamped roster that experts predict will rank among the nation's top 25.

Luigi Suigo, a 7‑foot‑3 center from Tradate, Italy, has chosen Villanova over a dozen other programs, bringing a 7‑foot‑6 wingspan and a defensive reputation to a team reshaping for the 2026‑27 season.

Carter Fisk announced his commitment to Villanova on June 3, joining a recruiting class that already includes Adam Oumiddoch. The Wildcats are also pursuing 7‑foot‑3 forward Luigi Suigo, who faces a June 13 deadline to withdraw from the NBA Draft.

Carter Fisk, a 6‑foot‑2 combo guard from Baltimore, has pledged to Villanova University for the 2026‑27 season, joining a roster that could see him contribute in injury‑hit or blowout scenarios under head coach Kevin Willard.
