• I have expanded the lead about his early life and college achievements. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 14:56, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

• "He first dunked the ball at age 13." - think this sentence could be reworded to a more formal phrase

• OK. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 15:16, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

• "He rejoined the rotation in February 2018 but struggled to play consistent minutes and did not play in NCAA Tournament victories" - think the text in bold can be worded differently so that it can be understood better
• Changed to "receive" consistent minutes since it is largely a coaching decision. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 15:26, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
• "Samuels helped Villanova achieve a 26–10 record and win the Big East." - {{xt|Big East Conference.}}
