Spurlock commits to Virginia

Sources have confirmed that Tristan Spurlock, a small forward from Montrose Christian School in Rockville, Md., is set to become a Cavalier.

The 6-foot-8, 215-pound wing is the second committment for the class of 2009, joining point guard Jontel Evans from Bethel High in Hampton. Both players play for Boo Williams’ AAU team, and Spurlock says Evans was a big factor in his decision.

“They’ve been on me the longest,” Spurlock said. “They know exactly how I play. They knew what they were getting in me and vice versa.”

Spurlock reportedly had offers from traditional powers Georgetown and Louisville on the table, as well as Clemson, Wake Forest and Villanova.
