Tyreke "impressed" with 'Nova, UL

Sports Illustrated runs a short piece on Tyreke Evans, the class of 2008 superstar guard. Villanova and several other major programs are recruiting Evans.

Evans describes his practice routine, and says he is excited to begin playing the up-tempo AAU game this summer. Evans also promised he would appear at a few big-name summer basketball camps.

Tyreke says his college list has been whittled to eight, and that he was "pretty impressed" with Villanova and Louisville, the last two schools he visited.

Says Tyreke:

Coach Wright at Villanova and coach Pitino at Louisville both made great pitches. Sometimes you have to take what the coaches say with a grain of salt, though. They can tell you whatever they want now about how big a role you will have on the team or how many minutes you are going to play for them. But once you sign, they own you.
