UVA women’s basketball picks up commitment from in-state guard Payton Dunbar

The Virginia Cavaliers added another talented prospect to their 2024 recruiting class as they announced the signing of Narrows, Va., native Payton Dunbar on Thursday evening. Originally a member of the class of 2025, Dunbar is choosing to forego her final season of high school basketball and reclassify to 2024 so she can join the ‘Hoos on Grounds this fall.
