It may have happened in the middle of the night, but Tony Bennett and the Cavaliers have their first commit of the 2021 class. New Zealander Taine Murray chose Virginia over Stanford and Maryland, announcing his choice at 2:30am ET on Sunday via Instagram.
This is a really great get for Bennett and Virginia. Murray is 6-5, 190 pound shooting guard out of Auckland, New Zealand. He has played with the Auckland Huskies in the New Zealand NBL and is currently a developmental player with the New Zealand Breakers, but Murray hasn’t accepted any compensation so he can keep his eligibility with the NCAA.
