Cheek is a very aggressive and athletic wing who can score from anywhere on the court. Cheek has the ability and range to score 20+ on the college level. Cheek has helped his school shoot up the national rankings to among the tops in the north east. Cheek is a leader on the court and has a great head on his shoulders, a very coachable young man. St. Anthony’s head coach Bob Hurely had an interview with ZAGSBLOG. Hurley and Cheek both answer questions about where Cheek stands on his decision after his teams most recent game. As of 5/28/08 I would say the UCONN and Wake Forest are the leaders for his services.

Bob Hurley, the legendary head coach of St. Anthony in Jersey City, said his star junior, Dominic Cheek, will not attend North Carolina and that Cheek still remains wide open.

“He wasn’t ready to commit and they (North Carolina) had a kid from Texas who’s a wing player ready to commit, so they took the kid they thought they could get,”

The 6-5 Cheek recently told ZAGSBLOG that Villanova, Wake Forest, Pitt, Texas, Florida, Marquette, Seton Hall and Rutgers were all in the mix.“I’m still open right now. There’s no leader or anything,” he said.Hurley, who has a career record of 914-101, said his players were focused on winning the North Non-Public B State title, and that recruiting would take care of itself. He already has six seniors committed to Division I programs, including Rutgers-bound G Mike Rosario.“We’re just worrying about basketball,” Hurley said. “The entire country will have some interest in him. We just want to go about our business. We don’t want to worry about our list. He’s having fun just playing. “There’s a million opportunities (for Cheek). If you’re around, you have a chance to be in.”
