Former Academy of the New Church standout Savon Goodman backed out of his commitment to play basketball at Villanova, according to multiple sources close to the situation.

The 6-foot-6 forward, who transferred from ANC to Constitution High on Wednesday, is in Venice Beach (Calif.) competing in the Elite 24 all-American game and couldn’t be reached for comment. However, a source confirmed that Goodman actually decommited earlier this week.

Hooprecruiter: He's transferring from Academy New Church, which is a non-PIAA school, to a PIAA school. The same rules don't apply in this scenario.

About this blog

Joe Juliano first visited the Palestra in 1970 after entering Temple University and became hooked for life on Big Five basketball. He'll always go with that name, figuring if the Big Ten can have 12 teams, why can't the Big Five have six?

Juliano joined the Inquirer in 1985 after 10 years at United Press International and has covered college sports for most of that time. His current beats are Villanova basketball, Penn State football, golf and the Penn Relays. Reach Joe at jjuliano@phillynews.com.
