On Monday, UVa will sign more size and athleticism to the program. 6-9, 220-pound McKinley (Baton Rouge, LA) standout PF/C Jerome Meyinsse , who returned home today from an official visit to UVa, has committed to Dave Leitao and company and plans to sign his letter of intent on Monday during a press conference at his school.

UVa became heavily involved in Meyinsse’s recruiting process after seeing him play in the Kingwood Classic AAU tournament in Houston (TX) on April 21-23rd. The staff was able to bring him in for an official visit this week and Meyinsse obviously liked what he saw.

“I liked it a lot,” Meyinsse said of Virginia. “I pretty much made my decision before I left today. It was what I expected because I had looked on the internet and saw some things already. It has a beautiful campus and I liked the coaches. The players that were there and I got along well. I spent a lot of time with Mo [Diane]. I’m excited to get there this summer. I had a lot of scholarships, but I was waiting to get one I wanted.”
