2009 Recruits:

1) Dominic Cheek, SG: Rank: #8 (overall)

Hometown: Jersey City, NJ Saint Anthony's High School Ht: 6'5" Wt: 170

Considering: Villanova, North Carolina, Uconn, Florida, Ohio State, Wake Forrest, Rutgers, & Texas

Cheek is a multi-dimensional perimeter player capable of playing three positions. Thin, but aggressive to the basket, his Tayshaun Prince build loves to draw contact and finish. An unselfish teammate, Dominic boosts terrific long range shooting accuracy.

Dominic is one of the top players in the country. He is an athletic wing that can shoot, slash and score. He is the best player at famed St. Anthony High School playing for the legendary Bob Hurley. Dominick has all the tools. He is long and has nice bounce. He is a good scorer inside the arc. His game is best 19 feet and in. Dominic is a top 10 player nationally in the class of 2009.

He is a big-time player who shows unmatched explosiveness. He can flat out score, inside or outside. He can pass and has an overall feel for the game. His defense continues to improve which puts him at the top of many high-major wish lists including Villanova's.

2) Maalik Wayns, PG: Rank #15 (overall)

Hometown: Philadephia, PA Roman Catholic High School Ht: 6'1" Wt: 185

Considering: Villanova (Solid Verbal)

Wayns, is next in a long line of tough Philadelphia point guards. He's an old school point guard who thinks pass first, shot second. He brings mature leadership and a coach on the floor mentality to each game. Other attributes are a secure handle, great court vision, solid three point shooting, a killer crossover, and scintillating explosiveness to get to the rim and finish. He also rebounds well for a guard and has tremendous court vision. He is a good passer who can also get to the rim when he wants. He can also shoot well off the dribble. All in all, he reminds alot of folks around Philly of another former Villanova guard from the Philly area, Kyle Lowry, but with a better shot.

3) Terrel Vinson, PF: Rank #20 (overall)

Hometown: Baltimore, MD Montrose Christian High School Ht: 6'7" Wt: 195

Vinson is one of the most versatile, do it all players in the Class of '09. He is a combo forward who consistently fills up a stat sheet. Terrell is a very good athlete with a variety of ways to score. He has a good nose for the ball and a willingness to compete in the paint. His motivation, court intelligence, and consistency make him a coveted recruit.
