News leaked out tonight that Class of 2010 forward Jayvaughn Pinkston, widely considered the top player in New York City, was going to publicly commit to Villanova tomorrow. It appears the story broke sooner than expect. The New York Post is reporting that Pinkston has officially committed to Jay Wright and the Wildcats.
Pinkston becomes the 3rd member of the 2010 class.
Pinkston confirmed the report via text message saying only, “Yes, it’s true.”
You might remember that Pinkston originally was set to commit to Tennessee during the early signing period, but cancelled his announcement. Days later Tennessee received a commitment from Tobias Harris, which many have speculated aided Pinkston in re-considering. Now, he’s a Wildcat.
Pinkston becomes the 3rd member of the Class of 2010 joining James Bell and Markus Kennedy. Pinkston is a strong-bodied forward with a developing outside game. He’ll be a perfect fit in Jay Wright’s scheme and brings a lot of toughness that may remind many of Dwayne Anderson.
Let’s all welcome Jayvaughn to the Villanova family!
