Kalu Anya - Commits to Virginia Anya has committed to Virginia for the 2026-27 season, per Greg Madia of The Daily Progress.
Impact Anya has found his landing squad for what should be his final year of eligibility. The 6-foot-8 forward redshirted the 2025-26 campaign, which came as a bit of a surprise as he was a regular starter the prior season. In that season, he averaged 6.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.1 steals and a block in 27.9 minutes per contest. He'll look to make an immediate impact with the Cavaliers.
