UVA hoops target Isaac Traudt will announce school choice this Saturday

By Jerry Ratcliffe

Virginia’s top remaining recruiting target, 6-foot-10 forward Isaac Traudt, said today that he will announce his commitment to one of his four remaining schools on Saturday morning.

Traudt is expected to commit to Virginia, Michigan State, North Carolina or Nebraska. His announcement will come at 10 a.m., most likely via his Twitter account.

The Grand Island, Neb., 4-Star prospect, is ranked No. 54 nationally, and is a lethal scorer.

Traudt has been a top target for the Virginia staff from early on and particularly after the Cavaliers gained a commitment from another 4-star, Isaac McKneeley of Poca, W.Va., last spring. McKneeley and Traudt have become close.

In fact, when Traudt made his official visit to Virginia over the summer, McKneeley took his official visit as well. The two played some pickup games together and were also roommates at the NBA’s Top 100 Camp in Orlando in July.
