Charlie Villanueva, the highly sought after power forward from Blair Academy in Blairstown, New Jersey, has pared his list down to three schools.

Charlie is considering Seton Hall, Illinois, and Villanova. All have offered. Villanueva recently firmed up his visits to all three campuses.

"I'm taking a visit to Illinois on September 28th," said Villanueva. "A week after that I'm visiting Seton Hall. I'm going to Villanova for Midnight Madness."

What separated this trio of schools from his bevy of suitors?

"Relationships," said Villanueva. "All three of these schools have been recruiting me since I was 15. They're all a good fit, it will just come down to the visits."

"Once I take the visits, it should take me about two weeks to make a decision."

Charlie said that he intends on taking all three of his visits.

We'll keep you posted on Charlie's recruitment over the next month.
