 KRIS JENKINS COMMITS

TO

VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY

 ALL-MET ELITE

 

Villanova men’s basketball picked up its first commitment for the freshman class of 2013 on Sunday when 6-foot-6 forward Kris Jenkins informed Wildcats coach Jay Wright he had accepted his scholarship offer, according to several web sites.
The 235-pound Jenkins, who can play either forward position, was ranked 63^rd in the class of 2013 by Rivals.com and 74^th by Scout.com, which also listed him as 18^th at his position. Both recruiting services have given him a four-star rating.
Jenkins averaged 19.8 points, 10.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.9 steals last season for Gonzaga College High School in Washington, leading his team to a 27-7 record and the championship of the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference.
He did not play AAU basketball this season after undergoing surgery on his left pinky finger.
Jenkins also was offered a scholarship by Rutgers, Xavier, Clemson and Miami. He told Zagsblog.com the reason he chose Villanova was that Wright and his staff “gave me a vision, a plan for me that was something I couldn’t turn down.”
