This is certainly a surprise, but more surprisingly is they were able to keep it quiet and not leaked it for so long.

After reading a few reports and interviews, it is clear that Jay Wright didn't just decided this week to retire.  It's been known for some time.  Someone posted his final presser where he referred to being there "...one last time", Neptune didn't just get a call on Monday and decided to take over immediately, they had everything lined up already.

Villanova athletic director Mark Jackson said in a release. “After meeting with several exceptional candidates, we found all those attributes and more in Kyle Neptune. Kyle quickly stood out for his basketball knowledge, recruiting savvy and natural ability to connect with student-athletes and coaches.”

So they spoke to multiple candidates who all kept quiet.  Neptune had to inform Fordham about this and Fordham kept quiet.

That's a lot of people keeping their mouths shut!!!
