The University of Virginia began recruiting 6-7, 215-pound rising senior forward Lance Goulbourne last year, but the interest from the Cavs really sparked up this summer. Coach Dave Leitao and staff have now come in with a scholarship offer and The Hun School (Princeton, N.J.) standout has reciprocated the interest, having set up an official visit to UVa for the weekend of September 22nd.

“UVa looked at me last year, but then they kind of fell off,” Goulbourne said. “They weren’t looking for the type of guy who could play the 3 or the 4. They saw me this summer and that rekindled their interest. They loved what they saw. Virginia is a great school. They are a program on the rise. They tied for the ACC Championship last year. I love the way they play. I love the way coach Leitao coaches. I know he coached at Connecticut for a long time, so he has helped develop some great players.”

Goulbourne (pronounced goal-burn) has set two more official visits for September, including trips to Marquette on the weekend of the 15th and Vanderbilt for the weekend of the 29th. He is considering other programs as well and may take more than just these three visits.
