    One of UVA's top recruiting targets in the class of 2024 has set a date and time for his college decision. Christian Bliss, a four-star point guard from Newtown, Pennsylvania, will announce his commitment to Miami, Villanova, Xavier, or Virginia on Friday at 5pm Eastern, per a report from On3's Joe Tipton. 

    Bliss took an official visit to Villanova in April and took back-to-back official visits to Xavier and Virginia last week. 247Sports insider Colby Giacubeno has registered a Crystal Ball predicting Bliss to commit to UVA. Giacubeno has a 100% accuracy rate on 81 all-time recruiting predictions, including 7 for 7 on recruits in the class of 2024. 

    A 6'4" point guard who plays at George School in Newtown, Pennsylvania, Bliss is coming off of a fantastic junior season that saw him earn all-state honors in Pennsylvania as the non-PIAA Player of the Year after averaging 20 points and 5.2 assists per game while shooting 56% from the floor and 43% from three. 247Sports rates Bliss as the No. 129 national recruit in the class of 2024, the No. 6 prospect in Pennsylvania, and the No. 18 combo guard in the country, while On3 has Bliss ranked as the No. 117 overall recruit in class of 2024 and the No. 15 point guard in the nation. 

    UVA is seeking its first verbal commit from the recruiting class of 2024 and the Cavaliers are hopeful that Christian Bliss will be that first commit and their point guard of the future. 

    Bliss will announce his decision on Friday, June 30th at 5pm Eastern and will choose between finalists Miami, Villanova, Xavier, or Virginia.
