Ryan Arcidiacono, a four-star point guard out of Langhorne, Pa. told Gator Sports Nation that he has Florida in his top five along with Notre Dame, Wake Forest, Boston College and Georgia Tech.

Arcidicono, a 6’3 190 pound junior at Neshaminy High School, recently played in a two day event at the West Virginia Jam Fest where Billy Donovan flew up and sat in the first row to see him play. Arcidicono told rivals that he had a little bit of butterflies when he knew coach Donovan was sitting there watching.

“The first four out of six possessions, I probably turned it over or missed a shot,” Arcidicono told rivals.com. “I struggled shooting that tournament, but I probably still had 12 points, five or six rebounds and six assists. It was a good game.”

When Arcidicono received a offer over the phone from Florida, he was pretty much in shock.

“My first reaction was just, ‘Wow, all the hard work has paid off right now,’” he said. “It was a great feeling.”

I asked Ryan if he had visited yet and he said he took an unofficial one when it was just him and a coach of his who drove up to Gainesville when they were in Orlando for an event. He said Florida has a crazy football and basketball stadium.

Arcidiacono still has a lot of high school left and plenty of time to decide where he wants to play ball at the next level, but we know now that Florida is in his top choices which is a good sign. He also spoke about how he still has to go out and explore other schools before he makes a decision. Another school he has interest in is Villanova but they have not offered him anything just yet.

Here is a short video clip of Arcidiacono. He can shoot the lights out.
