Aramide Olaniyan (Woodberry Forest, Va./Woodberry Forest) made an official visit to Virginia during the weekend. Olaniyan said that the Cavs firmed up their scholarship offer to him, and that Virginia is now making a push into the top group with Duke, North Carolina, Michigan and UCLA. The news here, though, is that an old favorite has worked its way back into the mix.
Olaniyan watched the Blue Devils, the team he had been committed to for most of the process before backing out earlier in the season to explore his options, defeat Virginia for the second straight season, 28-17.
