The Virginia men's basketball team expanded its roster with two new players on Wednesday. The Cavaliers added the services of Mike Forkin and Tryshan Ravenell. Both players are sophomores who made the team after tryouts were held earlier this month.
Forkin, a 6-foot-5 forward, was a two-time letter winner at Westfield High School. In his senior year at Westfield, Forkin was named to the All-District second-team.
Ravenell is a 6-foot point guard from Charlottesville, Va. He earned spots on the first-team All-District and second-team All-Central Virginia squads during his senior year at William Monroe High School. Ravenell was a three-sport athlete at William Monroe, where he also played football and was a member of the track and field team.
The Cavaliers will have two home exhibition games before the home opener against Robert Morris University Nov. 19. The two exhibition games will be against Lehman College and Marymount University.
