CHARLOTTESVILLE—John Brandenburg, a 6-10 center from St. Louis who is one of Virginia basketball coach Dave Leitao’s chief targets in the Class of 2008, has decided to take another official visit before choosing a college. 

His finalists are Stanford and Virginia.  Brandenburg took an unofficial visit to Stanford early last month and an official visit to U.Va. two weekends ago.  He has struggled to reach a decision since then and so has opted to take another look at the Cardinal.

Brandenburg will visit Stanford next weekend and “make a decision after that,” his father, Jim, said in an e-mail to The Times-Dispatch this morning.
