Mikal Bridges, the Rivals No. 99 prospect in the Class of 2014, is headed to Villanova.
Bridges is a 6-foot-6 small forward from Malvern (Pa.) Great Valley.
“As soon as I met Jay Wright and as soon as I met the coaches I knew I was going to like it,” Bridges told CoBL by phone Tuesday evening. “I knew I was definitely going to come here. It’s a great school.”
Florida and Virginia Tech also offered, and Temple, La Salle and St. Joseph’s were in the mix, CoBL reported.
“I think it’s a great fit for him both socially and athletically,” Team Final coach Rob Brown told SNY.tv.
“Mikal as a player has only scratched the surface of his talent. Once he believes he’s as good as I believe he is, it could be scary. This season has been his first true test of high level competition, and he’s been very good at times. But he can be great.”
Bridges is Villanova’s first 2014 commit.
