SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Matt Coleman, the 6-foot-1, 174-pound point guard from Oak Hill (VA) Academy, announced for Texas over Duke on Monday at the Hoophall Classic.
Coleman joins shooting guard Jase Febres and power forwards Royce Hamm and Jericho Simms in Coach Shaka Smart’s 2017 class.
“It was about watching both teams play, and finding out where I was needed,” Coleman said on ESPNU. “Knowing Shaka’s the coach, he’s a players coach watching them play. Constantly, you’re just hearing, ‘They need a point guard, they need a point guard, things would be different if they had a point guard.’ The way they play up and down, I know the ball is going to be in my hands from day one.”
Matt Coleman, the 6-foot-1, 174-pound point guard from Oak Hill (VA) Academy, will announce on Monday at the Hoophall Classic, head coach Steve Smith confirmed to ZAGSBLOG.
Oak Hill faces Nathan Hale (WA) at 1 p.m. on ESPNU, and Coleman is expected to announce at halftime of the 11 a.m. game between The Patrick School (N.J.) and Pace Academy (GA).
Coleman is down to Duke and Texas, he previously told Scout.
His most recent visit was to Texas at the end of October.
“Texas was real nice, I say they laid out the red carpet,” he said. “Just being there with my family and [head coach] Shaka [Smart] spending some time, I really enjoyed myself.”
Coleman visited along with 7-footer Mohamed Bamba of the Westtown (PA) School and the PSA Cardinals. Bamba is considering Texas along with Duke, Kentucky, Harvard and a few others, but also won’t sign until the spring.

Stanford is out of the mix.
“I could see a commitment coming within a month from now, but right now I just don’t have that feeling of where I want to go in my heart,” Coleman told me recently.
