Recruiting News | |||||||
This Week In Recruiting By Chris Horne Football recruiting. TE Mark Ambrose, TE Andrew Devlin, LB Terence Fells-Danzer, PK Chris Hinkebein, and OLB Romale Tucker were the commitments on hand to see UVa's home loss to Maryland this past weekend. Corey Mosley headlined the remaining targets in attendance. Stay tuned for comments from UVa's commitments on their experiences on Saturday. Also, there is an article posted this morning on Henrico star Corey Mosley. Mosley has set two official visits and his recruitment appears as if it will be an in-state race until the end.
Game Ball This week's SabreMail game ball goes to Max Milien, the 6-1, 195-pound running back out of Yorktown (Arlington, VA). Milien missed the first four games of the year due to a knee injury, but returned to the lineup last Monday in Yorktown's loss to Loudoun Valley. He saw limited time against Loudoun Valley, but really broke out this past Friday in a 58-27 win over Mount Vernon. In the win, Milien rushed for 200 yards on 12 carries and had two catches for 25 yards. He scored three touchdowns in total, making a statement that he's back in stride. Yorktown moved to 5-1 on the season. It takes on Edison this Friday.
Other top performances . West Springfield quarterback Peter Lalich continues to put up impressive numbers. And, this time, his team was able to come away with a win, defeating T.C. Williams 57-50. Lalich completed 19 of 29 passes for 307 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions. He added four carries for 28 yards and a five-yard score, leading his team to a 2-4 record on the year. Matoaca's Kris Burd was a star on offense and defense last Friday, helping the Warriors to a 24-6 win over Thomas Dale. The 6-1, 185-pound UVa recruit had two catches for 37 yards and a touchdown on offense, but his 11 tackles and three pass-deflections on defense helped set the tone as well. Matoaca is 6-0 on the year. Defensive tackle Nick Jenkins tallied six tackles including 2.5 sacks in Good Counsel's 46-6 win over O'Connell last Friday. Jenkins has 7.5 sacks on the season. Good Counsel is 7-0 on the year and faces Gonzaga this Saturday.
Basketball recruiting. Coach Dave Leitao and company will host 6-8, 215-pound recruit Mike Scott on an official visit this weekend. Scott is a power forward target out of Chesapeake, Virginia. He averaged 25 points and 15 rebounds per game as a senior last season for Deep Creek High School. He originally signed with Temple last fall, but decided to open up his options following the departure of John Chaney from Temple. He is now at Hargrave Military Academy. Scott, a prospect with outstanding athleticism, is making his first official visit. As reported on The Sabre EDGE last week, he has narrowed his list to four schools - Clemson, N.C. State, Wake Forest and Virginia. No other visits have been set at this point, but stay tuned as I will check up on the situation on Sunday following the trip. According to a report on Rivals.com, UVa is no longer pursuing small forward Eric Wallace. The 6-6, 210-pound Wallace was once a commitment to UVa, but reneged on his decision recently and decided to re-open his recruitment.

SabreMail History | |||||||
Issue No. 177 - February 18, 2005
Every now and then, I receive an email that helps put everything in perspective. This touching and poignant one came from Nathan McAnulty earlier this week and he gave me permission to share it here ... I am writing in concern of how much UVA athletics and thesabre.com were a part of my brother's life. My brother, Spencer McAnulty, passed away on 2/1/05 from a blood clot. He was 32 years old and had just had back surgery. Him not being able to move around and circulate his blood was a cause of death. I am his brother Nathan, 30, and am a big Tarheel fan. We grew up as kids, him rooting for UVA and me for UNC. UVA football became a big part of his life. He planned his vacation around UVA football. He was a season ticket holder. His wife Chris plans on keeping the tickets for their 21 month old son, Garrett, and 4 1/2 month old daughter, Annisa, so they can go to the games and enjoy them, as their daddy wanted to take them badly when they got old enough. I also know as a Godparent that it is my responsibility to take them to the games and influence them to become UVA fans no matter if I like UVA or not. One of the reasons I am sending you this email is that Spencer's wife Chris received a sympathy letter today from Al Groh. It was very touching to our whole family as we know how much this would mean to him. I also think the way Groh found out about his death was because a friend of ours and another UVA fan and season ticket holder put it on your Web site. Spencer died in a #11 UVA jersey and was buried in his favoite player, Elton Brown, jersey. Thanks to UVA athletics for giving my brother a major love of sports in his life. John Galinsky, who was then the Sabre Editor, shared that with SabreMail users in issue No. 177.
