I've heard Armwood is more of a Curtis Sumpter type player than Shane Clark (stronger, better inside out game, creates more matchup problems). He is very athletic and a great get. The Cats are also targeting Terrell Vinson, a 4 star forward who happens to play high school ball with Armwood. There is no doubt that Armwood's commitment will have a huge impact on Vinson's decision. Also on this line of thought, Maalik Wayns has been playing with USA basketball U18 team and in various showcases- spending a lot of time with #11 overall recruit (and rising) Dom Cheek of St. Anthony's (6'5", being recruited by basically everyone - Florida, Gtown, Kansas, UNC, UCONN to name a few). Wayns has been playing the point and Cheek the 2, and from what I've read, Wayns keeps laying the ball off to Cheek and giving him lobs for alley oops. He is making it a priority to show him what can be expected if he comes to Villanova. He wears his Nova shirts and backpack around all the time, and says he talks to Cheek about coming to Villanova every day. Jay Wright must be very proud. FROM SI.COM ARTICLE: "Coaches cannot attend IS8 games because the event takes place in a dead evaluation period, but the appearance of Wayns -- wearing his navy blue Villanova shirt and carrying a Villanova backpack -- may prove stronger than any coaching impression. On the court, Wayns, who displays excellent court vision, repeatedly feeds Cheek, lobbing alley oops and serving soft handoffs to him." Getting a guy like Cheek would solidify Nova's position as one of the premier programs in the country.
