For some people, the end of spring football marks the end of the college sports calendar. That's fine if you're strictly a football-basketball guy.
We wrote features for Edge subscibers on the rise of the men's tennis program, the legacy of lacrosse players John Christmas and Amy Appelt and the critical homestretch for the baseball team. We'll have more coverage throughout the month as the Wahoos pile up Sears Cup points. Of course, if you just don't care about that stuff, don't worry. There's always football recruiting.

Recruiting NewsThis Week In Recruiting By Chris Horne Football recruiting... Asheville (NC) athlete Crezdon Butler and Good Counsel (Wheaton, MD) wide receiver/defensive end Drew Gloster have received offers from UVa. The 6-1, 175-pound Butler plays quarterback and cornerback for head coach Danny Wilkins. Butler, who has excellent speed, projects as an athlete with the ability to play several different positions. According to Wilkins, UVa was very impressed with Butler's demeanor and personality when the star rising senior paid a visit to Charlottesville for a junior day. In addition to UVa, Butler is considering offers from, in no particular order, North Carolina, N.C. State, Wake Forest, Maryland, South Carolina, Arkansas, Nebraska and Clemson. Coach Wilkins says Clemson, North Carolina and Virginia are Butler's three favorites right now. Gloster picked up an offer from the Cavs very recently. At 6-4, 220 pounds, he was hand-time at 4.53 in the 40-yard dash during last week's Elite combine in New Jersey. Gloster also boasts offers from Miami, Penn State, Ohio State, Syracuse, Virginia Tech and West Virginia, among others. He says he doesn't know much about the 'Hoos right now, but may take a visit this summer. Basketball recruiting...
-- Woodside's dual-sport star Stefan Welsh will take his talents - at least in basketball - to Hargrave Military Academy. Welsh, who claims offers from Florida and UVa in football, had no comment when asked if he planned on playing both football and basketball at Hargrave. He also had no comment when asked which sport he would play in college. The 6-2, 175-pound Welsh has taken an official visit to Xavier for basketball. He claims offers from Virginia and Virginia Tech, among others, as well for basketball.

With just two weekends remaining before the ACC baseball tournament, the seedings are starting to clarify a little. Miami, North Carolina and Georgia Tech will battle for the ACC regular-season crown, while Maryland, Duke and Virginia Tech in all probability will be relegated to the four-team ACC mini-tournament. The only real question remaining is who will join the Terps, Hokies and Blue Devils. Unfortunately, the 'Hoos are in the mix.
When the two lacrosse phenoms rode into Charlottesville in the fall of 2001, a mountain of expectations preceded them. Each was the No. 1 recruit in America. Both had been on their coach's radar screen since junior high. Now, nearly four years later, they've both seen their share of success - he won a title his sophomore year, while she did the same a season later. But time is running out, and both desperately want another championship before it's all over. For John Christmas and Amy Appelt, these NCAAs represent one last shot at immortality.
Shawn Moore, one of the greatest players in UVa history, answers five of your questions about the QB position, including: Why was UVa's vertical passing game so effective when you were here? What was your technique on alley-oop passes to Herman? When did you truly feel comfortable as a college quarterback? Is the importance of the QB position overstated? And what are the attributes that make someone a Hall of Fame quarterback?
Virginia didn't become a men's tennis powerhouse overnight. It only seems that way. In truth, it took some time and a number of important events to turn a historically mediocre program into one of the nation's best. From facilities to coaches to players, UVa tennis has undergone dramatic upgrades in recent years. Now Brian Boland's program may be the athletic department's best example of its stated commitment to excellence.
The secrecy shrouding Virginia's coaching search makes it difficult to analyze. It's impossible to fully know Craig Littlepage and John Casteen's actual actions. The best we can do is gather the press accounts and sift through it all to judge how things went. Having said that, some of their decisions and actions can be scrutinized. For instance, should we have targeted Tubby Smith at all? Was the media managed correctly? Should we have been so hung up on head coaching experience?
The 2005 ACC football schedules are out and TheSabre.com breaks them down. Who plays the easiest schedule? Who plays the toughest? Who got the biggest breaks with the league schedule? Whose nonconference slates seem a tad light? How difficult is Virginia's schedule compared to the rest of the league? We rank all 12 teams on strength of schedule, using our foolproof scientific methodology.
