CHARLOTTESVILLE – Will John Manning want to follow in his parents’ footsteps and attend U.Va.?
Cavaliers basketball coach Dave Leitao hopes so.
Manning is a 6-11 sophomore at Chantilly High in Northern Virginia and one of the top prospects in the nation’s Class of 2011. Here’s an article about Manning that ran in The Washington Post last winter.
His parents, Doug and Suzanne Manning, are U.Va. graduates, and the family attended several games at John Paul Jones Arena last season. The Mannings are planning a trip to Charlottesville on Oct. 18, also the date of the Virginia-North Carolina football game at Scott Stadium.
Virginia’s two recruits for 2009-10 – 12th-graders Tristan Spurlock and Jontel Evans – are from Woodbridge and Hampton, respectively, and the state’s 10th- and 11th-grade classes are stocked with talent, too.

That would be fantastic if John Manning came to UVa! But how is UVa going to keep him away from Duke or UNC? That is the problem.
