PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Coming out of St. Anthony High School in Jersey City, N.J., Dominic Cheek was one of the most highly recruited players in the nation.
Nearly every major program in America wanted the long and lanky 6-foot-5 McDonald’s All-American from Jersey City.
But in a story first reported by ZAGSBLOG.com, Cheek ultimately chose Villanova over Kansas, then the reigning national champion.
Asked the reason why, Cheek said, “Like I said, loyalty. Villanova was great to me.”
