Guard commits to Villanova
While he continues to recruit for the freshman class of 2009, Villanova coach Jay Wright received an oral commitment yesterday from a guard who won't play for the Wildcats until 2010. James Bell, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Orlando, Fla., is entering his junior year at the Montverde Academy in Florida. Bell was also recruited by Kentucky, Clemson, Florida, Miami, Mississippi, Auburn, West Virginia and Penn State. He said he had committed early because he wanted to "get better in the classroom and on the basketball court."

You're an idiot....you call Jay Wright a shyster (which you don't even know how to spell by the way) but you don't provide any evidence to back it up? You're obviously just a jealous and/or bitter person. Jay Wright is a great coach and the future is bright at Nova.

It was meant as a compliment. Calm down.

To the topic at hand - a quote from the recruit:
"have a 100 percent graduation rate, and the atmosphere that Coach Wright and his coaching staff have is great," Bell said. "Coach Wright is honest. He just wants the best for his players, and the family atmosphere he creates is something you can't find anywhere else."
Awesome. When's the last time you saw a basketball recruit choose a school based on graduation rate. Congrats kid. No matter if you can play basketball or not, you've got a good head on your shoulders...
