New Report: De Ridder on Virginia’s campus

By Jerry Ratcliffe

Apparently, 6-foot-8 Belgian forward Thijs de Ridder was on Virginia’s campus on Wednesday, leading hopeful Cavalier fans that he commits to the program.

De Ridder, a physical, three-level scorer from the professional Spanish League, is awaiting NCAA clearance after withdrawing from the NBA Draft process this week. Speculation from various recruiting services is that De Ridder wants to enroll at UVA.

Our spies told us Wednesday that there are no issues with Virginia admissions for the 22-year-old, that the only hold up is with the NCAA.
