Top-five point guard Matt Coleman committed to Texas over Duke on Monday morning, announcing his decision on ESPNU.
"It's the perfect fit," Coleman told ESPN. "I'm a point guard who makes plays."
Coleman, ranked No. 26 overall in the ESPN 100, went back and forth between the Longhorns and Blue Devils the last few months. Smart had a relationship with Coleman, a Norfolk, Va. native, since his days as the head coach at VCU, and then spent time with him at USA Basketball. But Duke made a push for Coleman early in the fall, pinpointing him as its primary point guard target.
