Jersey numbers announced for Virginia basketball newcomers

The Virginia Cavaliers men’s basketball team updated its roster to reflect the jersey numbers for the six players expected to make their UVA debuts in the 2020-21 season.

Jabri Abdur-Rahim, Reece Beekman, and Carson McCorkle formed the three-headed monster that propelled Tony Bennett’s 2020 recruiting class to a top-20 ranking. Walk-on guard Malachi Poindexter, who played his prep ball at St. Anne’s-Belfield in Charlottesville, is the other member of the Hoos’ freshman class.

Transfers round out the sextet: Sam Hauser, the sharp-shooting forward who sat out last season after transferring from Marquette; and Trey Murphy III, the 6-foot-9 guard transfer from Rice.
