6’2 combo guard Briante Weber committed to VCU this past summer after VCU Elite Camp where he impressed the coaching staff enough to get an offer which he accepted. The two-time All-Southeastern District Defensive Player of the Year averaged 17 ppg, 8 rpg, 5 apg, and 4 steals per contest, picking the Rams over a number of other schools, but most notably garnering interest from UVA out of the ACC. While there was no official offer from the Cavaliers’ coaching staff, there was heavy interest with the prevailing sentiment among Cavaliers’ fans that Weber would commit to UVA. There was an element of surprise from the UVA fan base upon learning that Briante committed to VCU.

Briante is young for his class as he just turned 17 and elected to take a prep year at Fork Union Military Academy. Although he qualified academically to go to college in 2010, he wanted to work on his body so that he would be more college-ready upon coming to VCU. ESPN compared him to Rajon Rondo with regards to his long wingspan and explosive athleticism and he has shown tremendous improvement going from a 76 grade to an 89 grade this summer. Rivals also listed him as a 3-star recruit and Scout.com rated him as a 2-star recruit.
