DeAndre Hunter Looks Ready to Make a Mark for Virginia Basketball in 2017-18

After redshirting the 2016-17 season, Virginia redshirt freshman DeAndre Hunter will be looking to play a big role in the Virginia Cavaliers’ 2017-18 campaign.

A four-star recruit who chose Virginia over NC State, Notre Dame, Maryland and Miami, Hunter gives head coach Tony Bennett the option to go to a four-guard lineup, he told the Daily Progress in March.

“He’s long. He’s 6-7 and long. He can slash, he can step out and shoot the 3. He gives you diversity...He can score a little bit in the post.”

Here he is working with an outside athletic trainer Ken Jackson, showing off some of that diversity on the offensive end.
