By ADAM ZAGORIA

Isaac McKneely, the 6-foot-4 guard from Poca (IN) and Wildcats Select AAU, committed to Virginia on Saturday.

McKneely also consideered Kentucky, Louisville, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Purdue, and West Virginia.

“I have a really good relationship with Coach (Tony) Bennett,” he told 247 sports before his commitment. “I was fortunate enough to get on campus twice last year for games, and I really like the culture they’ve built there. It’s also a great academic school, so I think it would be a good fit on and off the court.”

According to 247Sports, McKneely is ranked No. 57 nationally in the Class of 2022 and is the No. 1 player from West Virginia.

He is Virginia’s first commit in 2022.
