Before the No. 2 Virginia Cavaliers take on the Louisville Cardinals in the final game of the regular season, the Hoos will recognize one player. Redshirt fifth year Jack Salt is the lone “senior” for the Cavaliers, and his long journey in college basketball is finally nearing a close.
Salt, from Aukland, New Zealand, arrived in Charlottesville with the class of 2014. He was one of four commits, joined by BJ Stith, Isaiah Wilkins, and Marial Shayok. Stith (Old Dominion) and Shayok (Iowa State) have since transferred out of the program, and Wilkins graduated last season. Now, Salt — who redshirted his first year — is ready to leave the program in a better state than he found it.
