This Week In Recruiting By Chris Horne Basketball recruiting takes forefront . Alexis Wangmene, a 6-8, 235-pound power forward prospect, made an unofficial visit to UVa last week. Though this was the second time the standout prospect had visited UVa, we keep hearing that the University of Texas could be the team to beat here. Wangmene resides in San Antonio with his guardians. He will transfer to Blair Academy in New Jersey for this upcoming season. Besides Wangmene, UVa is seriously in the running for two other low post prospects in the class of 2007. One is Patrick Patterson, the 5-star recruit out of Huntington (WV), while the other is Solomon Alabi out of Montverde Academy. The 6-8, 235-pound Patterson is down to six schools and UVa is one of them. Duke and Kentucky are among a few others. UVa is vying for an official visit spot from the talented player. Alabi, a native of Nigeria, has narrowed his list to three schools - UVa, Arizona, and Florida State. The 7-1, 235-pound center will make official visits to all three schools (beginning with UVa on September 9) before making a commitment.
Football recruiting . This week, TheSabre.com will release its PreSeason Top 30. There will be some movement from the PreSummer Top 30, as more prospects have come to light and more film has been viewed. Stay tuned for this toward the end of the week to read this feature. One newcomer to the list will be Henrico's Corey Mosley, a 5-9, 192-pound athlete prospect. Mosley has made at least three trips to UVa including a recent trip for a practice. Mosley holds offers from UVa, Virginia Tech, and Tennessee. He is not sure when he will make a decision.

Post of the Week
Subject: Scholioe situation for next year; my status update A. Offense (30-33 returning schole players, depending on Robb, Williams and Zidenberg as scholie players in 07) [7 recruits for next class] : (1) OL: Albert, Ausberry*, Barker, Cabbell, IYC*, Lipsey*, Monroe, Robb (?)*, Shields, Slebonick, Stair. 11 back next season, although Robb's situation is a little difficult to predict. I put Shields here rather than TE spot. By the time this year's recruits rwach RS FR/SO campaign only 7 would remain. So far, we have Cuffee and Hallick as new recruits. Would like to see at least one more OL in this class, better to have 2.
(3) WR: Byers*, Covington, Dalton, Davis*, Koch, Ogletree, Pearman, and maybe a RS SR year for Williams*. Minnifield already part of next class. Likely spot for one more. (4) RB: Horne, Payne, Peerman, Simpson. Milien already in. No more here I don't think. (5) FB: Bradley*, Zidenberg*. Likely to get filled out of recruited walk-on role? (6) QB: Deke, McCabe*, Sewell, Verica. Vic maybe switches back. Lalich already in. Done here. B. Defense (33-35 scholie players returning, depending on a couple of walk-ons status next year): DL: Billyk*, Carter*, Collins, Crawford, Field, Fitz, Gottschalk, Long* . Jenkins and Mihota (maybe OL for him?). At least one more here, maybe 2. LB: Appleby, Bivens, Burrell, Carter, Childs, Clark, Copper, Dias*, Dolce, Fuller, Hall, Jackson, Richardson*, Sintim. 14 back, only 2 of which aren't back following year. Detrick, Fells-Danzer, Sewell, Taliaferro already verbals. No more here. DB: Bell, Best*, Brown, Cook, Glaspy, Gorham*, Hall, Jackson*, Lemhuius, Lyles*, Parker, Woods, Womack. 13 back, and 2-3 already verballed with Joseph, Williams, and Dowling. No more here. C. Kickers (2): K: Gould* P: Weigand* No more here I don't think. So, with a verbal list of 16, and 65-70 returning scholie players, I look for us to verbal 4 more: one or two OL, one WR, and one or two DL. Comments, and I'm sure, corrections? Join the thread on the Football Message Board.

Issue No. 55 - September 26, 2002
Deng enjoys UVa visit Last weekend was an important one for the Virginia Basketball program, as Coach Gillen and company hosted the Rivals.com number two-ranked basketball player in the country in Blair Academy's (NJ) Luol Deng. This was the first of four visits for Deng, a 6-8, 217-pound small forward. The visit went especially well, according to Blair Academy Head Coach Joe Mantegna. "The visit went great," said Mantegna. "He was very impressed, and had a terrific time. He liked the people and the basketball program. "Academically, it is a perfect fit." Deng will officially visit Missouri this weekend, Duke on October 26, and Indiana in December. Many felt the Cavaliers would have to make a great impression on Deng to have any shot at landing the silky smooth forward. It looks like the staff may have done just that. "The visit surpassed all expectations," said Mantegna. "UVa is definitely in the mix, and will be there until the final decision. They definitely made an impression." Luol Deng has all the tools and is one of the most versatile players in the country. He will see some action at point guard this season for Blair Academy in addition to his regular small forward responsibilities. Deng has an excellent basketball IQ and the work ethic to match, and that's just a few of the reasons he has become the country's hottest commodity.
