Nigel Munson, set to be the starting point guard for the Virginia Tech men's basketball team next season, is considering transferring.

Tony Langley, Munson's former AAU coach, said Friday that the rising sophomore is weighing his options but "doesn't know if he's going to stay or leave."

Langley said Munson, who graduated from DeMatha Catholic High School in Washington, D.C., might transfer to a college in Washington. He said Munson is not mulling a transfer for academic or basketball reasons.

"He wants to be close to home," Langley said.

Munson averaged 3.0 points and 11.1 minutes as Zabian Dowdell's backup last season. He had already been crowned the starter for next season by coach Seth Greenberg.

Munson will likely decide his future by July 2, when Tech's second session of summer classes begins. Munson didn't attend Tech's first summer session but had been planning to attend the second session.

If Munson leaves, one candidate to be the floor general would be Hank Thorns, a point guard from Las Vegas High School who signed with Tech in late May. The other possibility is Malcom Delaney, although he was an off-guard at Towson (Md.) Catholic last season.

Greenberg lost another potential starter last month. Power forward Gus Gilchrist has decided to attend prep school instead of playing for the Hokies next season.

Cavs get WR

Javaris Brown, a wide receiver who had 48 receptions last year for Northeast High School in Macon, Ga., has become the latest player to commit to Virginia's football program for 2008.

Brown, a 5-foot-11, 180-pounder, has been timed in less than 4.40 seconds for 40 yards. He also had offers from Kentucky and Alabama-Birmingham. He also told rivals.com that Georgia was prepared to make him an offer if he would commit on the spot.

Brown had more than 1,000 receiving yards and scored 15 touchdowns last year as a junior.
