HGN already covered this on Twitter, but On3 updated their rankings:

Nate Ament at 3 is the headliner for our purposes, but here’s HGN with the convenient round up of UVA targets’ rankings:

My head: The upward trend line of Nate Ament climbing the rankings over time is inversely proportionate to the downward trend line of our chances landing Nate Ament.

My heart: LET’S DO THIS, NUMBER 3 PLAYER IN THE 2025 CLASS IS GOING TO BE A HOO!!!

Side note, I do like that On3 is clear about the stated goal of their rankings:

Our goal is to assess a prospect’s long-term potential, ultimately manifested by the NBA Draft. The goal of the ranking is not to assess who had the best high school career or who will be the best college player. This is why we will shoot to end each cycle with 14 five-star prospects following the lead of the NBA Draft Lottery. The vision is draft night.

I suspect most rankings have a similar focus but aren’t so clear about them.

That sounds like medium term. Long term would be “our goal is to assess who will be schooling the young-uns on playgrounds well into their 50s abd 60s.”

How many 2025 recruits with a current offer will UVA get?

  • 0
  • 1

I think we get one of Dixon/Tillery/Mallory but strike out on Ament and the rest of our current wing targets. Probably get someone else with a late offer (maybe a reclass) and then use any remaining scholarships on the transfer portal.

Heck of a pick up for Marquette…Phillips had just started to get popular as a 2026 recruit.

I’m interested to see what Marquette does from here. They’re technically booked for 2025.

Can we do that with Cody Peck?

Wonder if Cam Ward cancels his visit there?

Probably doesn’t matter for us, but what’s Adrien Stevens going to do now?

Stevens fell off some this summer…seemed to be a matter of whether Marquette or Villanova would take him. UVA isn’t involved.

Cam Ward did an official to Marquette in June. That’s the only way it’s maybe a little relevant for UVA.

Not sure they’ve offered Singleton (checking)…but I mentioned him a lot last month, they saw him several times. And he got really popular, all those offers are new.

Five visits set, not to UVA. I think we’re more than likely window dressing, at best leaving the window open in case.
