   Recruiting News

Armstrong apparently still on board with Virginia

An apparently false report originated yesterday on Insiders.com saying that UVa recruit Robert Armstrong had committed to the University of Pittsburgh. Our recruiting analyst, Chris Horne, was unable to reach Armstrong or his family for comment, but did reach FUMA head coach John Shuman.

"The [Internet] report is false," Shuman said yesterday. "I can attest that I have been with Robert all day, and he has not used the phone or the Internet all day. I just left him 20 minutes ago.

"I think it is someone trying to activate some friction. Last week there was a rumor that he was looking at Tennessee. Now it's Pittsburgh."

Read the full report here.

Deng enjoys UVa visit
By Chris Horne

Last weekend was an important one for the Virginia Basketball program, as Coach Gillen and company hosted the Rivals.com number two-ranked basketball player in the country in Blair Academy's (NJ) Luol Deng. This was the first of four visits for Deng, a 6-8, 217-pound small forward. The visit went especially well, according to Blair Academy Head Coach Joe Mantegna.

"The visit went great," said Mantegna. "He was very impressed, and had a terrific time. He liked the people and the basketball program.

"Academically, it is a perfect fit."

Deng will officially visit Missouri this weekend, Duke on October 26, and Indiana in December. Many felt the Cavaliers would have to make a great impression on Deng to have any shot at landing the silky smooth forward. It looks like the staff may have done just that.

"The visit surpassed all expectations," said Mantegna. "UVa is definitely in the mix, and will be there until the final decision. They definitely made an impression."

Luol Deng has all the tools and is one of the most versatile players in the country. He will see some action at point guard this season for Blair Academy in addition to his regular small forward responsibilities. Deng has an excellent basketball IQ and the work ethic to match, and that's just a few of the reasons he has become the country's hottest commodity.
