Brogdon Named USBWA All-American

From VirginiaSports.com Official News Release

Virginia junior guard Malcolm Brogdon (Atlanta, Ga.) was named a second-team All-American Monday (March 16) by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. It is the first All-America honor of Brogdon's career and the first USBWA honor for a Cavalier in 32 years.

Brogdon, who was a first-team All-ACC selection by both the media and coaches, leads the Cavaliers in scoring at 13.9 points per game and free throw percentage at 87.1 percent. He scored in double figures in 26 games, including four 20-point games, highlighted by a career-high 25 points against North Carolina in the ACC Tournament semifinals on March 13. Brogdon was also named the ACC Co-Defensive Player of the Year by the league's coaches.

Brogdon becomes the fourth Cavalier to be named a USBWA All-American. He joins Barry Parkhill (first team in 1971), Jeff Lamp (first team in 1981) and Ralph Sampson (first team in 1981, 1982 and 1983) as Virginia players honored by the organization.

The 2014-15 USBWA All-America first team consisted of Willie Cauley-Stein (Kentucky), Jerian Grant (Notre Dame), Frank Kaminsky (Wisconsin), Jahlil Okafor (Duke) and D'Angelo Russell (Ohio State). Brogdon was joined on the second team by Bobby Portis (Arkansas), Seth Tuttle (Northern Iowa), Kyle Wiltjer (Gonzaga) and Delon Wright (Utah).

This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne

UVa men’s basketball class of 2015 recruit Jarred Reuter helped Brewster Academy (Wolfeboro, N.H.) to a National Prep School Championship last week. The 6’8”, 245-pound power forward took some time to discuss the title as well as his future at UVa in my EDGE article linked below.

This week, I plan to catch up with UVa class of 2016 recruit Ty Jerome, whose junior season is complete following Iona Prep’s (New Rochelle, N.Y.) loss to Xaverian in the CHSAA AA intersectional playoff semifinals. I plan to ask Ty about his junior season, UVa, when he plans to return to Charlottesville, and much more, so stay tuned.

In addition to the report on Jerome, I hope to have more on Virginia men’s basketball’s 2016 class recruiting efforts. High school season is over, and the focus is now turning to the AAU circuit this spring and summer. UVa currently has two spots available to use in class of 2016 recruiting.

Stay tuned for a “Strategy Session” taking a look at the latest news and numbers on University of Virginia football recruiting in the class of 2016.

Also this week, I hope to catch up with UVa rising senior quarterback commitment Sonny Abramson for a report on his offseason progress.

Chris Horne, our resident recruiting expert, provides updates throughout the week for EDGE subscribers about UVa's commitments and recruiting targets in football and men's basketball.
