When deliberating the names of greats that have made their way through Virginia’s basketball program, there is perhaps no name bigger than that of Ralph Sampson. When Sampson made his way to Charlottesville in 1979 from his nearby roots in Harrisonburg, he was already a giant, standing at 7 feet 4 inches and being heavily recruited by programs all across the country.
