James Bell and Markus Kennedy both officially joined the Villanova family yesterday when they signed their Letters of Intent to play for Jay Wright, but could their be a 3rd on the way?
Jayvaughn Pinkston
Scout ran a Signing Day Blog yesterday and reported that Jayvaughn Pinkston may in fact sign during the early period. There was talk earlier this week that he may hold off on committing until the spring. Now he may sign and end the process.
7:51 – Just got off the phone with New Height coach Kimani Young. He told us that there is a strong possibility Jayvaughn Pinkston signs during the early period. He’s looking at Marquette, St. John’s, Villanova, Seton Hall and Tennessee. He also said Ashton Pankey would sign next week. He’s visiting Houston this weekend. He was at Maryland for an official visit recently.
It has been widely thought that Villanova has led for for Pinkston for some time now, with Tennessee a close second. Marquette, Seton Hall, and St. John’s are also involved. Pinkston is considered the best player in New York City, and is an undersized PF at 6′6″ who has been rapidly developing a better handle and jumpshot. His stock has been soaring.
…I could see this going a number of ways…most notably him waiting until the spring to sign…I initially thought he was going to hold off to see what Mike Gilchrist did, but maybe he doesn’t care…or he’s decided to head somewhere other than ‘Nova…
…Stay tuned…
