Summer time means recruiting time for coaches all around the country, with the Virginia Cavaliers being no exception. The ‘Hoos have now secured 11 commitments and counting in the class of 2026, helping build on what was a successful recruiting effort in the transfer portal this past spring.
As most fans know nowadays, nothing is ever official in the world of recruiting until pen hits paper and players officially arrive on campus ahead of a new season.
