UVA target McNeil commits to Ohio State; Milicic chooses Charlotte

By Jerry Ratcliffe

West Virginia transfer guard Sean McNeil announced Sunday that he will transfer to Ohio State, while former UVA guard Igor Milicic Jr. has committed to Charlotte.

Milicic, a 6-foot-10, 224-pound shooter from Croatia, appeared in 16 games for the Cavaliers as a freshman and entered the transfer portal after the season. With his transfer to Charlotte, he will now play for former Tony Bennett assistant Ron Sanchez, who came from Washington State to Virginia with Bennett.

Milicic averaged 2.1 points and 6.3 minutes over the 16 games he played at UVA.

McNeil, who visited Virginia early last week, chose the Buckeyes over UVA, Indiana, Louisville, Texas Tech and Iowa. He is a 6-4 shooting guard with one year of eligibility remaining.

On Saturday, former Ohio U. forward Ben Vander Plas announced he had committed to Virginia. The 6-8 forward has one year of eligibility remaining (see related story on the site).
