Commitment! UVa basketball lands power forward Jay Huff

The fourth pickup for Tony Bennett's 2016 recruiting class could be the biggest yet. The 6-foot-10 power forward from Durham, N.C. was also being looked at heavily by Duke.

Virginia Basketball pulled off a bit of a recruiting coup on Thursday, as 2016 forward Jay Huff committed to the Cavaliers. Jeff Borzello had the initial report, and CavsCorner.com confirmed Huff's decision later.

Huff is a lanky power forward, measuring 6-foot-10 but weighing in at 180 pounds. This makes him a potential redshirt candidate, giving him an extra year to work with strength coach Mike Curtis to prepare for the rigors of ACC play.
