Virginia’s Tony Bennett has struck 2011 recruiting gold in his home state of Wisconsin. Wednesday night, Paul Jesperson, a guard/small forward out of Merrill, Wisconsin has committed to the Hoos.
Jesperson is a rising senior, and is the first recruit of the 2011 freshman class to officially commit to the Wahoos. He’s rated a 4-star recruit by several college hoops recruiting experts. Rivals.com ranks Jesperson in the top-150 recruits nationally, and rates him a 3-star talent.
Bennett’s 6-player 2010 recruiting class is ranked among the top-20 classes in the nation. That’s sure something not seen in many years by Virginia hoops fans!
Also, on a personal note, my lovely wife Harmony gave birth to our own 5-star recruit at 4:11 a.m. on Tuesday morning. Our son is named Myles Cooper Thurston. Cooper was born at Martha Jefferson and weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces. Both mom and baby are doing great. Click on the link if you’d like to see some photos.
