Virginia Hosting San Diego State Transfer Forward Elijah Saunders
Fresh off of landing their first transfer commitment of the offseason, Tony Bennett and the Cavaliers are looking to keep the momentum going as they host another transfer portal target on Grounds. San Diego State transfer forward Elijah Saunders arrived at Virginia on Sunday for an official visit.
Saunders visited Washington on Friday and Saturday and is scheduled to take a visit to Clemson on Tuesday and Wednesday.
A 6’8″, 225-pound forward from Phoenix, Arizona, Saunders was a late entrant into the transfer portal last week. He played in 53 games over the last two seasons at San Diego State, including 21 starts. This season, Saunders started 21 of 37 games and averaged 6.2 points and 3.6 rebounds in a little over 20 minutes per contest. He shot 32.2% from beyond the arc on 3.3 three-point attempts per game. His best game came in a win over Washington as he tallied 16 points and went 3/3 from beyond the arc. He also had eight points and a couple of threes in San Diego State’s win over Yale in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
With the addition of Florida State transfer guard Jalen Warley, who announced his commitment to Virginia on Saturday, the Cavaliers added depth and experience to their backcourt and gave themselves another ball-handler and playmaker on offense and a versatile defender who can guard multiple positions. Now, UVA looks to find its replacement for Ryan Dunn at power forward and is making that case to Elijah Saunders to fill that role over the next two days.
Saunders is in the transfer portal with two years of eligibility remaining. Virginia currently has three scholarship spots remaining for the 2024-2025 season.

VIRGINIA (WCYB) — The Virginia Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Monday, April 27, in a legal challenge connected to redistricting in the state.
A Tazewell County Circuit Court judge blocked the certification of votes from Tuesday’s congressional map referendum. Roughly 51 percent of voters voted “yes” to redraw the state’s congressional maps.
The Tazewell County judge ruled that the referendum was illegal.
Attorney General Jay Jones filed an appeal on Thursday, warning the decision would invalidate the votes of millions of Virginians and could pose problems ahead of the Aug. 4 primary.
Oral arguments are set for 9 a.m. Monday and an audio livestream will be available on the Virginia Supreme Court’s website.
