Luol Deng, the No. 2 men's basketball recruit in the high school class of 2003, will make an official recruiting visit to Duke this weekend.
Duke is the final school in a long string of recruiting weekends for Deng, who visited Indiana last weekend--a visit he had to push back a week because he wanted another crack at the SAT even though he has already qualified academically.
Deng is also considering George Washington, Missouri, Virginia and Indiana, although many experts say Duke and Missouri are the favorites.
A Sudenese native, Deng moved to Egypt at age six, before settling permanently in London, England. He subsequently came to the United States for high school at Blair Academy in New Jersey.
The 6-foot-7, 216-pound Deng is considered by many to be the top available prospect in next year's freshman class since Sports Illustrated cover boy LeBron James, the consensus No. 1 high school player, will almost certainly forgo college in favor of the NBA.
