Five-star forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl has been set on a final five for some time now, a list that included Villanova. Robinson-Earl has now completed four of his five official visits, and he talked to Rivals' Corey Evans about the visits he's taken so far, what he's looking forward to at his last visit, and about a potential timeline on a decision.
Here's what he had to say about Villanova:
It was good. I didn’t know a whole lot about them but I did know that they were a good program because they have been winning so much and getting guys to the draft. Going out there, it is a different feel with the vibe that the coaches have being all young and ready to go. Coach (Jay) Wright, he is a Hall of Famer who has been winning a lot and has a great playing style that I think fits me well with it being a versatile four-out, one-in and finding the mismatch. I really enjoyed the visit.
Evans also asked if Robinson-Earl and Villanova discussed his role with Eric Dixon coming in and Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree already on board:
It would be a great team. I think that we could play a lot of small ball and be a lot quicker than a lot of teams and be a great advantage with all of the great guards there like Jahvon Quinerly, Bryan Antoine, and Justin Moore. I think that it would be a good fit.
Robinson-Earl has also completed visits to Notre Dame, North Carolina, and Kansas and will finish up at Arizona. He said he hopes to have a decision by late November, but as soon as he knows he will announce it.
Right now this feels like a Kansas-North Carolina race, but we'll see what happens.
