Adam Zagoria covers basketball at all levels. He is the author of two books and an award-winning journalist whose articles have appeared in ESPN The Magazine, SLAM, Sheridan Hoops, Sports Illustrated, Basketball Times and in newspapers nationwide.
Renardo Sidney will take an unofficial visit to Virginia this weekend.
The 6-foot-10 Sidney, ranked No. 10 among prospects in the Class of 2009 out of Los Angeles (CA) Fairfax, has not yet taken the PSAT or SAT and thus cannot take an official visit.
CavsCorner.com reports that Sidney and his parents are expected to arrive in Charlottesville on Saturday and stay until Monday. They will watch Virginia’s season opener Sunday against VMI.
Sidney is originally from Mississippi. He took an unofficial visit to Mississippi State while on a family trip back to that state.
He is also reportedly considering USC, UCLA and LSU. At one point Stephenson was said to be considering going to Europe, a la Brandon Jennings, but his father has now apparently ruled that out.
“He’s going to college. He wants to go to college,” the elder Sidney told FoxSports.com. “I’ve been struggling all my life. Another year isn’t going to make a difference.”
