LOUISVILLE ENTERES CHEEK SWEEPSTAKES

June 16, 2008


Dominic Cheek is piling up the offers as more schools are becoming interested in the elite 2009 wing from St. Anthony's in Jersey City (NJ). Cheek Picks Up Memphis, Louisville Offers (NBE Basketball Report) recently to go with intense interest from Villanova, Wake Forest, Pittsburgh, Florida, UConn, Texas, Rutgers, Seton Hall and Maryland.

“I talked to Rick Pitino and everything,” Cheek told Adam Zagoria at the Rumble in the Bronx at Fordham University. “It was exciting.”

He added that former Pitt and current Memphis assistant Orlando Antigua is recruiting him for John Calipari’s team.

“I’m still wide open right now,” said Cheek, who hit a bunch of 3-pointers while also making athletic forays to the hoop in leading the Playaz to several victories. “I don’t have a favorite right now.”

Cheek said he plans to “start cutting the list down soon.” With a busy summer ahead, expect more schools to try and get involved as well.
