Virginia and Virginia Tech do not have to look far for one of the top class of 2009 basketball recruits in the country. 6-8 power forward DeShawn Painter , a junior out of Norfolk's Booker T. Washington High School, is rated a 5-star prospect by Rivals.com and Scout.com and claims scholarship offers from some of the nation's best men's basketball programs.
"I've got offers from everywhere - North Carolina, Duke, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Louisville, Ohio State, Florida. U-Conn is recruiting me. Oklahoma is recruiting me. Maryland has offered," Painter said.
