RECRUITING NOTES
– Touted class of 2017 point guard Trae Young announced this week that he has narrowed his list to 11. UVA made the cut for the Norman North (Norman, OK) product, who is also still considering Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, SMU, Stanford, Texas, and Texas Tech.
UVA remains in the mix but is probably not one of the favorites right now.
– Vermont Academy (VT) wing Christian David, a player UVA is evaluating, received offers from Florida and Rice earlier this week. Per Vermont Academy Hoops, the 6’7″ prospect has offers from schools in the Atlantic 10, Big East, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12, and now the SEC.
