Continue ReadingEven 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.
Roosevelt Wheeler Roosevelt Wheeler 6'9" | C John Marshall | 2021 State #62 Nation VA – Louisville
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.
Angelo Brizzi Angelo Brizzi 6'3" | PG Highland School | 2021 State #216 Nation VA – Villanova
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.
Darius Johnson Darius Johnson 6'0" | PG Episcopal | 2021 State #159 Nation VA – Central Florida
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.
Clarence Rupert Clarence Rupert 6'7" | PF Miller School | 2021 State VA – St. Peter’s
Rupert is a multi-faceted forward that will bring another dimension for Coach Holloway.
Mike Gray Mike Gray 6'0" | CG Blue Ridge | 2021 State VA – George Mason
Gray will add offensive firepower to the backcourt for Mason with his ability to shoot from the perimeter, especially off the bounce.
Allen Strothers Allen Strothers 6'2" | PG Menchville | 2021 State VA – East Tennessee State
Strothers will be able to play either guard spot at ETSU. His length gives him the potential to defend several positions on the wing.
Garrett Johnson Garrett Johnson 6'7" | SG Episcopal | 2021 State VA – Princeton
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.
Jason Nelson Jason Nelson 5'8" | PG John Marshall | 2021 State VA – Richmond
6’0″ and under guards have found success under Coach Mooney at Richmond. Nelson has the credentials to continue that trend.
Jaylani Darden Jaylani Darden 6'3" | CG Norview | 2021 State VA – Longwood
Darden is a long-limbed lefty who does a bit of everything well. He’ll be a versatile contributor for Coach Aldrich.
Elvin Edmonds Elvin Edmonds 6'2" | CG Hopewell | 2021 State VA – Bucknell
Edmonds is a reliable combo guard who will take care of the ball and make shots in the Patriot League.
Caleb Kenney Caleb Kenney 6'6" | PF Douglas Freeman | 2021 State VA – Holy Cross
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.
Kobe Jerome Kobe Jerome 6'3" | CG Blue Ridge | 2021 State VA – UC Santa Barbara
Jerome is an intelligent guard who can fit in with any team. His shot-making and playmaking will stand out at the next level.
Mac MacDonald Mac MacDonald 6'3" | SG Collegiate | 2021 State VA – Navy
Coach DeChellis has mined this region effectively and scooping MacDonald is another huge get. He’ll be making it rain in Annapolis.
Greg Spurlock Greg Spurlock 6'4" | PG Rock Ridge | 2021 State VA – Coppin State
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.
Tyler Coleman Tyler Coleman 6'6" | PF Paul VI | 2021 State VA – Towson
Coleman’s upside could be significant at Towson. He has improved every year and is still just scratching the surface.
Cam Cormany Cam Cormany 6'0" | SG Radford | 2021 State VA – Navy
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.
Yusef Salih Yusef Salih 6'2" | CG Highland School | 2021 State VA – Idaho
Salih is a solid glue guy who will make a difference with his ability to make shots and plays for others.
Garrett Cox Garrett Cox 6'6" | SG Glen Allen | 2021 State VA – Hood
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.
