Darrun Hilliard, a 6-foot-5 2011 shooting guard from Liberty (Pa.) High, is expected to announce that he will attend Villanova during a press conference at his high school Wednesday at 5 p.m.
“I had some good talks with coach [Kevin] Baggett,” Mitchell told the Philly Daily News, referring to Dempsey’s associate head coach. “I liked the way he presented the program and the school. And when I talked with some of the players, they were always saying that they liked how things were done and that the coaches keep their word.”
Rider previously got a commitment from 6-7 wing Shawn Valentine of Winslow Township in N.J..
Jeff Jones, a Virginia transfer, also becomes eligible in 2011.
“All the guys like the way the offense is played,” Mitchell told the Daily News. “You know how school-ball offense can be compared to [the quicker tempo of] AAU ball. Rider likes to let their guys play. You can go up and down. It’s freelance, but in a controlled way.”
