Remember Cassius Peat?

You may not.

The Chandler, Arizona, native was only at Michigan State for one season, 2015, but his journey has been a long and winding road that included a potential return to East Lansing as recently as March 2017.

That never happened. But finally, after stints at two junior colleges, Peat has a Division 1 home, with the announcement that he'll play at the University of Virginia for his final two years.
