Paul Jesperson attended UVa’s Elite Camp and stayed for the NBAPA Top 100

When he arrived on Grounds in June, Paul Jesperson wasn’t sure if he would receive a scholarship offer from the University of Virginia, much less if Charlottesville would be the place he’d choose to spend the next four or five years. The 6-7, 185-pound rising senior would earn an offer from head coach Tony Bennett at UVa’s Elite Camp on June 14 and 15, but he also came away highly impressed with the Virginia program.

“The facilities definitely impressed me then,” Jesperson said. “The biggest thing was the Strength and Conditioning coach. We talked and he told me he doesn’t use a lot of free weights. They do a lot of resistance stuff to increase mass and make the players more athletic. I think that will benefit me the most. As for the facilities, you can’t really explain how good they are. The practice facility, the court they play on…everything is great.”
