guard at this stage, but he is a very good play- maker off of the dribble both in terms of setting himself up to score and creating for others. "What Guy lacks most right now is strength. As long as he gets stronger, he is tracking as a player capable of helping out right away." Pegram noted that Guy's strengths extend to several areas of his game outside of his shot, like his passing ability. In UVa's system, that will mean he can play point guard at times in relief. "He played a lot as a 15-year-old with the 17U teams, so he's played up against guys who were older than him, and even though he wasn't physi- cally mature you'd never know it watching him score against some solid AAU programs despite their physical advantages," Pegram said. "That was eye-opening to me. He's got to get stronger and has to work harder at being a good defensive player because of his strength issue. But he played so well in Vegas at the end of the summer that ev- eryone really came away very impressed." With two of their five scholarships now already taken in the class of 2016, the Cavaliers will set their sights on post players. Three of the most likely top targets on the board are all currently in the commonwealth, led by 6-10, 205-pound four- star Dyke (Va.) Blue Ridge School power forward Mamadi Diakite, who is No. 83 in the Rivals150. "Diakite is a slim pogo stick around the rim," Bossi said. "I find his quickness to be his greatest asset, but I also feel like he has a pretty good base set of skills and feel for scoring in the post." Joining the Charlottesville-area standout and native of Guinea on UVa's board is Sacha Killeya- Jones, a 6-10, 195-pound three-star forward from Virginia Episcopal in Lynchburg. So far, he's picked up offers from UVa, Notre Dame, VCU, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest, among others. "With Killeya-Jones, he has the athletic attri- butes in that he can run, change directions, and Video highlights of Kyle Guy
