Villanova pulled off an impressive recruiting coup on Tuesday evening, beating out Kansas for top-40 prospect Jeremiah Robinson-Earl.
Robinson-Earl chose the Wildcats over a final five that also included Kansas, Arizona, Notre Dame and North Carolina. He officially visited all five schools over the past two months.
For most of Robinson-Earl's recruitment, it was thought to be a battle between Kansas and North Carolina. Robinson-Earl is from Kansas and his father, Lester, played for Roy Williams at Kansas -- and the Jayhawks and Williams appeared to be the two main parties vying for his commitment.
