All four future Cavaliers are ranked on the 4-star level by one of the four national recruiting outlets (ESPN, Rivals, Scout, 247Sports). Guy is ranked a 5-star recruit by ESPN.com. Virginia’s class ranking stands as follows with two days remaining until the beginning of the Early Signing Period:

- No. 6 in the nation per 247Sports.com

Also on the basketball front, stay tuned for my report on redshirt freshman center Jack Salt. Salt is the subject of my final report from Media Day on October 21. EDGE subscribers can read previous reports on freshman walk-on Justice Bartley, freshman Jarred Reuter, and transfer Austin Nichols in the archives. My report on Nichols came out last week, and here is an excerpt from that piece ...
Nichols discusses the transition to UVa ...
“The transition has been going really well. At first I didn’t think it would go as well as it has, just because I’ve never been away from Memphis. I’ve been born and raised in Memphis, played two years there and everything. But it has been going really well, on the floor and off the floor. The academics are really tough, but there is plenty of help from the tutors and what not. On the court I’m just trying to learn as much as I can and trying to help the first-team win games,” Nichols said.
Football Recruiting
Stay tuned for my report on Virginia’s newest commitment, defensive line prospect Christian Brooks. Brooks is a senior out of Centreville High School in Clifton, Virginia. He is the 26th prospect to commit to UVa’s class of 2016.
Also this week I’ll fill you in on how Virginia’s class of 2016 recruits have performed on the gridiron, as well as which players are headed to postseason play.
