Small Forward To Visit Big East School

Adrian Joseph, the graceful 6-foot-7 forward who played this past season at Bergen Catholic High School in New Jersey, is expected to take a visit today to the campus of Villanova University. The Big East school is one of several high profile programs working Joseph hard. And for many good reasons.

Joseph is a top 100 type of player because he is very active on both ends of the court. It's likely that when the summer concludes Joseph will receive consideration in many of the recruiting lists that will be published.

The many reasons are as follows: Joseph plays above the rim. As his handle improves, Joseph will become even more difficult to defend on the offensive end.

Joseph also has good quickness and is always involved in steals. Because of his athletic skills, Joseph has his share of rebounds and blocked shots too.

Besides Villanova, Joseph has been recruited over the past month by Maryland, Vanderbilt, St. Joe's, Villanova, and Virginia.

Joseph said he is still open. Joseph, who arrived at Bergen Catholic last fall from Trinidad, is just a junior academically at B.C. However, he is a senior in terms of basketball eligibility. As a result, Joseph will play at Brewster Academy in New Hampshire this upcoming season. Joseph also plays for one of the country's top AAU programs in the New York Elite.
