Regan verbally commits to Cavs

Tony Bennett has often been described by peers in the college basketball world as a “system-based coach.Essentially, that means that Bennett’s squads have tended to be successful not because of a busload of McDonald’s All-Americans, but because of the sum of the parts that he has assembled.
To that end, the new Virginia coach has added what sounds like a pretty good part.
On Saturday, sources confirmed to The Daily Progress that high school power forward Will Regan has verbally committed to the program.
Regan, a 6-foot-8, 220-pound big man who projects as a power forward in college, is the first player to commit in the Bennett era.
The rising senior from Buffalo, N.Y. — named the Buffalo News Player of the Year last season — was also being courted by Arizona State, Maryland, Providence and Stanford.
Rated as a 3-out-of-5 star recruit by Rivals.com, Regan — whose lead recruiter was Virginia assistant Jason Williford — was on hand at the recent NBA Top 100 Camp in Charlottesville.
His perimeter touch is likely one of the things that attracted UVa. Bennett’s offensive schemes are known for their use of the “pick and pop” and Regan could be perfect for them.
“He’s a very skilled big guy,” said recruiting guru Bob Gibbons of All Star Sports. “I think he’ll be a very good fit for coach Bennett’s style of play. I think that’s a good first recruit for the Cavaliers under this new regime.
“I think it’s a good start. He should be an immediate impact player for them.”
