The University of Virginia has offered Worcester Academy (Worcester, MA) junior Matt Cimino, a sweet-shooting 6’10”, 215-pound center/power forward. ACC-rival Boston College, Illinois and Kansas State are among the other schools that have offered the promising prospect.

“He can really shoot it. He can pass. He has the ability to play in the post,” Worcester Academy head coach Jamie Sullivan said of Cimino, a Falmouth, Maine, native who transferred to Worcester before the 2011/2012 school year. “He has to use this time to develop his body. He has to work hard in the weight room, work on his stamina and his core. We’re working with him on his rebounding and running hard all the time.”

Two performances — one in regular high school play and one on the AAU circuit — highlight Cimino’s scoring ability. He drained eight 3s in a loss to a talented South Kent squad last December, and on the AAU circuit this past spring he knocked down five 3s in the second half of the under-17 championship game of the Hoop Group Northeast Jam Fest in Providence.
