With college lacrosse coaches only being allowed to start contacting class of 2024 recruits starting on September 1st, Virginia Cavaliers’ Head Coach Lars Tiffany was obviously itching to open his 2024 class on the right note.
Tiffany and his staff did just that as Inside Lacrosse’s top-ranked 2024 recruit, Ryan Duenkel, announced his commitment to the Wahoos earlier this evening. An attackman, Duenkel is following in the footsteps of current UVA stars Griffin Schutz (2021) and Connor Shellenberger (2019) as a #1 ranked recruit heading to Charlottesville.
To a certain extent, getting Duenkel to commit to UVA was a slam dunk.
