By Jerry Ratcliffe

Virginia is yet to land a commitment for the recruiting class of 2026, but the Cavaliers are in the running for several of the top 100 prospects in the country, including Luca Foster, who trimmed his list of suitors to nine on Friday.

Foster, a 6-foot-5, 4-Star wing, will play from Link Academy in Branson, Missouri, this season.

His final nine schools include: UVA, Gonzaga, Oregon, Villanova, Michigan, Ohio State, Georgetown, Pitt and Oklahoma.

He has six official visits planned, including an Oct. 4 trip to Charlottesville to see Ryan Odom and his staff.

Foster is ranked among the top 35 overall recruits in the nation by On3/Rivals, and ranked the No. 36 overall prospect by 247Sports, which also has him as the No. 15 small forward in the country and the No. 2 overall prospect in the state of Missouri.
