• Virginia fans anxious about the fate of their favorite team’s backcourt afterMalcolm Brogdon and London Perrantes depart over the next two seasons should be encouraged by the point guard set to join the Cavaliers in 2016. Ty Jerome projects as a savvy college floor general who will minimize mistakes, handle the ball effectively and restore order to an offensive halfcourt situation if a play falters. He can control the pace of the game, keep defenders honest with long-range shots and create scoring chances for his teammates. The Cavaliers’ offense has hummed over the last two seasons with Brogdon and Perrantes, and Jerome’s well-rounded skill set suggests the unit could continue to produce at a high level in their absence.
On Thursday morning, Jerome scored 18 points and recorded 13 assists with the PSA Cardinals (Bronx, N.Y.) in a win over Mokan Elite (Kansas City), which features one of the nation’s top point guard prospects, Trae Young. Jerome, a standout at Iona Prep (N.Y.), is currently ranked the No. 68 player in the class of 2016. Virginia’s 2016 recruiting class, as it stands, also includes four-star shooting guard Kyle Guy and three-star power forward Jay Huff.
