Virginia basketball has been an elite team on the court for two years now, and that dominance is starting to pay off big time on the recruiting trail.

Today, Tony Bennett and his staff landed a commitment from one of the nation’s top power forwards, five-star Mamadi Diakite. Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech and Washington were among the schools in on Diakite.

Virginia now boasts the best recruiting class in the nation in 2016, though there are obviously plenty of dominoes that still must fall.
