At last year's NBPA Top 100 Camp, CJ Barksdale had just finished his sophomore year at George Washington High School (Danville, VA) and was considering a number of schools for his college future. A year later, the 6-8, 220-pound forward is now a rising senior and eyeing a future at Virginia Tech. He's also preparing for his senior year, which will not be at GW-Danville.
"There is always an opportunity to get better and I feel that going to Hargrave Military Academy will improve my game and help me take my game to another level, so when I get to Virginia Tech I'll be able to play early and put in big minutes," Barksdale said.
