"I am committed to be a student-athlete at the University of Villanova," Booth tweeted on Tuesday.
Ranked No. 78 in the 2014 Rivals150, Booth had been a primary target of Jay Wright and the Wildcats for some time. It had also appeared that 'Nova held the edge, so his decision isn't a surprise, just the timing.
