Virginia has returned to the West Coast in pursuit of a future wing player from the Los Angeles area, 6-foot-7 Nikolas Khamenia from Harvard Westlake High School. Khamenia is a 4-star from the recruiting class of 2025 and averaged 23.6 points per game while playing “up” for the BTI United program on the New Balance NXT 17U circuit. He played on a team with four college-bound players, including former UVA point-guard prospect Trent Perry, who committed to Southern Cal.
