    Virginia coach Tony Bennett and his staff continued to add to their roster Monday with the additions of Duke transfer T.J. Power and San Diego State transfer Elijah Saunders.

    The 6-foot-9 Power averaged 2.1 points and 0.7 rebounds in a limited role at Duke last season, but figures top play a bigger role at Virginia.

    The Shrewsbury, Mass. native committed to Duke in 2022 over North Carolina, Iowa, Virginia and Boston College.

    The 6-8 Saunders is a Phoenix native who averaged 6.2 points and 3.6 rebounds for the Aztecs last season.

    Virginia last week also added a pledge from Florida State transfer guard Jalen Warley, who averaged 7.5 points, 2.8 assists and 2.6 rebounds.

    “I believe in the coaching staff and the culture they have built as a program,” Warley told ZAGSBLOG. “Adding those 2 guys will allow us to compete for AN ACC title and a national championship.”
