It’s been a quiet offseason for the Cavaliers, but for good reason, as they’ve been able to retain everyone on the roster that had eligibility left. That includes the frontcourt core of Lewis, Grunloh, and De Ridder, who can be one of the top forwards in the nation next year.
Virginia also brings back Mallory, who has the chance to be a breakout star as the lead guard. The team added to its frontcourt depth with Dixon, a top scorer out west at Irvine who shot nearly 40% from deep this past year. After a great first-year for Coach Ryan Odom, the Cavaliers have the chance to be a top-10 team next season.
