Ryan Odom and Virginia are in the running for one of the top recruits in the 2027 class. Five-star wing Moussa Kamissoko has scheduled nine official visits, one of which is to Charlottesville. He is graded as the No. 8 recruit nationally by Rivals, and is ranked No. 20 or better by all major sites.
Kamissoko will first visit Florida State and Syracuse before visiting the Cavaliers Sept. 5. One week later, he is scheduled to continue on to Oklahoma State, BYU, Illinois, UConn, Louisville and Baylor.

He has an advanced left hand, will drive both sides, is a threat to score over top of smaller defenders on short mid-range shots, and can iso from various spots on the floor.”
“The keys for him are physicality and feel. He can get bumped off his spots, throw up some wild shots, and struggle to improvise when his initial move is cut-off. He’s shown…
