Virginia Committed Player Breakdown

<p>Even though the majority of Virginia's 2021 prospects remain unsigned, there is a decent number who've already signed. Here is a breakdown of the potential impact that some of them could make.</p> <p><strong> <a href="https://prephoops.com/2020/11/small-school-commitments-in-va/">ICYMI: Here's Jack Herron's breakdown on a few Virginia players who have committed to small colleges.</a></strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="543842" first="Roosevelt" last="Wheeler"] - Louisville</strong></p> <p>Wheeler will be a welcomed addition to the Louisville front-court. Coach Mack has assembled a nice young core of bigs and John Marshall's man in the middle should fit in nicely among them. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="697111" first="Angelo" last="Brizzi"] - Villanova</strong></p> <p>Villanova has established a blueprint that involves identifying players who fit a particular skill set, and Brizzi certainly meets that criteria. He should fit right in.  </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="697101" first="Darius" last="Johnson"] - Central Florida</strong></p> <p>Coach Dawkins has done an excellent job bringing high-level talent, such as CJ Walker, to UCF. Johnson is a player who will likely make an immediate impact because his physical profile and defense will be up to par. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="798686" first="Clarence" last="Rupert"] - St. Peter's</strong></p> <p>Rupert is a multi-faceted forward that will bring another dimension for Coach Holloway.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="957888" first="Mike" last="Gray"] - George Mason</strong></p> <p>Gray will add offensive firepower to the backcourt for Mason with his ability to shoot from the perimeter, especially off the bounce. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="798680" first="Allen" last="Strothers"] - East Tennessee State</strong></p> <p>Strothers will be able to play either guard spot at ETSU. His length gives him the potential to defend several positions on the wing. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="798696" first="Garrett" last="Johnson"] - Princeton</strong></p> <p>Johnson will be a matchup nightmare in the Ivy League. He'll be an issue because of his unique combination of size and athleticism to go along with the fact that he's a lights-out shooter. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="798691" first="Jason" last="Nelson"] - Richmond</strong></p> <p>6'0" and under guards have found success under Coach Mooney at Richmond. Nelson has the credentials to continue that trend.  </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="798688" first="Jaylani" last="Darden"] - Longwood</strong></p> <p>Darden is a long-limbed lefty who does a bit of everything well. He'll be a versatile contributor for Coach Aldrich. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="798682" first="Elvin" last="Edmonds"] - Bucknell</strong></p> <p>Edmonds is a reliable combo guard who will take care of the ball and make shots in the Patriot League.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="697137" first="Caleb" last="Kenney"] - Holy Cross</strong></p> <p>Kenney is probably just 6-foot-5 but plays much bigger. He'll be deployed on multiple fronts at Holy Cross and contribute all across the board. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="957951" first="Kobe" last="Jerome"] - UC Santa Barbara</strong></p> <p>Jerome is an intelligent guard who can fit in with any team. His shot-making and playmaking will stand out at the next level. </p> <p><strong><a href="http://[player_tooltip player_id=&quot;697128&quot; first=&quot;Mac&quot; last=&quot;McDonald&quot;]">[player_tooltip player_id="697128" first="Mac" last="MacDonald"]</a> - Navy</strong></p> <p>Coach DeChellis has mined this region effectively and scooping MacDonald is another huge get. He'll be making it rain in Annapolis. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1091483" first="Greg" last="Spurlock"] - Coppin State</strong></p> <p>Spurlock is a big point guard with tantalizing upside. Coppin State's team features a handful of guys that are about his height and he'll fit like a glove. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="957901" first="Tyler" last="Coleman"] - Towson</strong></p> <p>Coleman's upside could be significant at Towson. He has improved every year and is still just scratching the surface. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="798739" first="Cam" last="Cormany"] - Navy</strong></p> <p>Cormany is a talented shot-maker who creates offense at will. He'll fit in at Navy in part because of his toughness, particularly defensively. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1091485" first="Yusef" last="Salih"] - Idaho</strong></p> <p>Salih is a solid glue guy who will make a difference with his ability to make shots and plays for others. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="957903" first="Garrett" last="Cox"] - Hood</strong></p> <p>Hood is a team that likes to shoot a ton of threes. Cox will be in heaven if he gets the green light, as expected. </p>
