Keith Langford, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard from North Crowley (Texas) High School, will begin an official recruiting visit to UC today, his mother said Wednesday.

        Charlene Taylor said her son already has visited Mississippi - to which he committed last June but recently changed his mind - Baylor and Oklahoma. He is scheduled to visit Kansas the weekend of Nov.4, and Taylor said Langford will choose between the Bearcats and Jayhawks.

        Langford averaged 19 points and nine rebounds as a junior. He played on a traveling team last summer with Jason Maxiell from Carrollton, Texas. Maxiell orally committed to attend Cincinnati earlier this month.

        “He's a solid high-major prospect,” said Dave Telep of Rivals100Hoops.com. “He's a shooter, just a solid perimeter player.”

        Telep said he would rate Langford around 150. Bob Gibbons of All Star Sports said Langford is one of the top 10 shooting guards in the senior class.

        “He'd be an excellent "get' if they can pick him up,” Gibbons said. “He's very athletic, and he can shoot the 3.”

        Kelvin Torbert, one of the top high school players in the country who was scheduled to visit Cincinnati the weekend of Nov.4, announced Wednesday that he will attend Michigan State.

        Hiram Fuller from Wabash Valley College is scheduled to begin his visit Friday.

        FREE SCRIMMAGE: The Bearcats will have an open-to-the-public intrasquad scrimmage from noon to 1p.m. Saturday at Shoemaker Center.
