G.J. Vilarino is headed to Gonzaga.
The 6-foot, 168-pound point guard out of McKinney (Texas) High committed after a weekend visit. Vilarino initially signed with Kentucky and then obtained a release after John Calipari took over.
He chose Gonzaga over Baylor and VCU.
“It’s a great fit,” Gerry Vilarino told the Louisville Courier-Journal. “He was born in Spokane. A fairy tale ending.”
Meantime, Kentucky still desperately needs a point guard and is involved with John Wall and Eric Bledsoe.
Wall told me he will cut his list to “two or three” later this week.
