    • Recruiting, Villanova

    Brandon Slater, the 6-foot-6 Class of 2018 small forward from Fairfax (VA) Paul VI, committed to Villanova on Wednesday.

    Maryland, Miami, Virginia, Wake Forest and South Carolina were among the others involved, per Scout.com.

    Slater is solid inside the paint whether he’s driving in traffic to the hoop or grabbing a rebound.  He also is a good athlete with a good handle.

    “I’m a tough, gritty player that’s kind of unselfish,” he previously told ZAGSBLOG. “Sometimes they yell at me to shoot the ball more. I like to pass a lot. I like to get my teammates involved. I just like to bring the energy.”

    HYATTSVILLE, Md. — A Class of 2018 small forward who plays for perennial power Fairfax (VA) Paul VI, Brandon Slater is garnering interest from numerous high-major programs.

    Slater is solid inside the paint whether he’s driving in traffic to the hoop or grabbing a rebound.  He also is a good athlete with a good handle. He was impressive on Saturday at the National High School Hoops Festival at DeMatha Catholic and drew praise from college coaches in the crowd as he had a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds in Paul VI’s 72-56 win over Pebblebrook.

    “I’m a tough, gritty player that’s kind of unselfish,” he said. “Sometimes they yell at me to shoot the ball more. I like to pass a lot. I like to get my teammates involved. I just like to bring the energy.”

    **Donnie Tillman, the 6-7 power forward from Findlay (NV) Prep, says has a timetable in mind for his recruitment.

    “I’m going to sign during the late period and probably commit mid-season,” said Tillman. “Hopefully, I will commit before the national tournament.”

    Tillman, who took an official visit to Utah last month (Nov. 28), plans to visit TCU later this month. “I have a TCU visit coming up on December 29,” said Tillman. “I just want to make sure that I go to right spot.”

    **Brandon Slater, the 2018 shooting guard from Paul VI (VA) High School, says five schools are working the hardest for his recruitment: Virginia, South Carolina, Maryland, Villanova and Miami. He broke down each school for ZAGSBLOG.
