From Staff Reports

Both Isaac McKneely and Andrew Rohde announced Monday that they will be entering their names into the NCAA transfer portal.

McKneely, a native of Poca, W.Va., has one year of eligibility remaining after being a key member of the Virginia program over his first three collegiate seasons.

Rohde, who spent a year at St. Thomas in Minnesota before transferring to Charlottesville ahead of the 2023-24 season, will also have a year of eligibility left.

McKneely and Rohde join Blake Buchanan and Dai Dai Ames as UVA players with their names currently in the portal. The Cavaliers announced over the weekend that Ryan Odom will be the team’s new head coach.

McKneely was the Wahoos’ leading scorer this past season with an average of 14.4 points per contest, sinking 101 of 240 attempts from the 3-point line (42.1 percent).

Rohde averaged 9.3 points per game and led the Hoos with 4.3 assists per game, and shot at a 41.3-percent clip from long range (43 for 104).
