Landing Allmond would be a home run for first year Virginia coach Ryan Odom, although there is a long way to go in that process. This is a good start and Allmond is one of the most athletic and versatile forwards in the country. Currently on the 247Sports Composite, Allmond ranks as the No. 30 player in the country, the No. 6 power forward, and the No. 2 player in the state of Virginia. Can Odom and his staff land him? We will see, but the Cavaliers are in the hunt.

Yesterday, forward Bo Ogden narrowed his list of schools to six and included the Cavaliers in that list. Gonzaga, Purdue, Texas, Tennessee, and Kansas are the other schools in the mix.
