Summary
Virginia’s defensive anchor Ugonna Onyenso is gone after being drafted by the Pistons, leaving a massive void—nearly three blocks a game. But don’t panic: the Cavaliers are reloading hard, landing elite 2025/2026 recruits Silas Barksdale (a high school block machine) and Favour Ibe (7-foot freshman with elite size), plus veteran transfer Kalu Anya (top rebounder). While replacing Onyenso’s shot-blocking is tough, this new big man trio brings physicality, athleticism, and experience to keep Virginia’s defense aces next season.
