This Week In Recruiting By Chris Horne Football recruiting ... A number of prospects visited UVa last week to see spring practice or on Saturday for UVa's second junior day of the year. Last Wednesday, UVa had at least two visitors - Benjamin School (N Palm Beach, FL) QB Conner Kempe and Fork Union Military Academy S/LB Marcus Dowtin. UVa has now offered Dowtin, a 6'2", 205-pound recruit who has received eight offers. UVa has not officially offered the 6'4" Kempe, who I will interview later this evening. Some of the notable visitors for Saturday's junior day included Churchville-Chili (Churchville, N.Y.) RB Averin Collier, York (Elmhurst, IL) OL Neil Deiters, Manasquan (N.J.) OL Art Forst, Riverdale's (GA) massive OL Cordy Glenn, Gonzaga (Washington, D.C.) ATH Cameron Johnson, Wayne Valley (Wayne, PA) JATH Chris Pantale, and Christian Brothers (Syracuse, N.Y.) WR Marcus Sales. All of these prospects have been offered by the Hoos. I caught up with Pantale, who called his experience "impressive." The 6'5", 225-pound standout enjoyed the spring practice and then enjoyed the personal tour of the campus from head coach Al Groh. Pantale was accompanied on the trip by his parents. As for the other recruits, stay tuned for more from these kids throughout the week. Sunday, St. Anne's-Belfield OL/DL Kyle Long, brother of current UVa star Chris Long, stopped by to check out a spring practice. Long is easily in the top five in the state of Virginia and may be the number one recruit in the state in the 2008 class. Stay tuned for an update on the 6'7", 285-pound prospect this week. Junior recruits were not the only ones in attendance this past week. West Springfield QB Peter Lalich, a 2007 class signee, attended practices on Saturday and Sunday. Lalich is the most highly regarded quarterback recruit in the Al Groh era and certainly paid close attention to each of the practices.
Basketball recruiting ... The McDonald's All-American game takes place on Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. EST. UVa fans will no doubt be watching UVa's lone remaining target and 5-star recruit Patrick Patterson. The 6'8", 235-pound power forward is hoping to trim his list from six schools to three a few days after Wednesday night's contest, so Patterson could have his list cut to three by the end of the week. Tubby Smith's departure from Kentucky certainly seems to bode well for Virginia, as the Pattersons had a high amount of respect for the former Wildcats head coach. Virginia seems to stand a good chance of making the initial cut, with Duke and Florida also seeming likely. Patterson hopes to announce his college decision shortly before the April signing period.

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 105 - September 19, 2003 Hagans delivers in win over Western Michigan Coach Al Groh decided to start all-everything talent Marques Hagans over freshman Anthony Martinez at quarterback this past Saturday against Western Michigan. The move proved to be an excellent decision, as Hagans led the team to an easy 59-16 victory over the Broncos in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Hagans completed 12 of his 20 passes for 162 yards with three touchdowns. He also kept the Broncos' defense off balance with his feet, rushing for 68 yards on nine carries. A lot of Cavaliers got into the scoring column this game, including two freshmen. True freshman receiver Deyon Williams saw his first action of the season. On his very first play from scrimmage, Williams caught a 35-yard pass for a touchdown. Redshirt freshman cornerback Tony Franklin provided icing on the cake with his 45-yard interception return for a touchdown with just over three minutes remaining. Overall it was a good day for the Cavaliers on both sides of the ball, especially on the defensive end. After a poor effort at South Carolina the week prior, the Hoos really needed to step up it up against Western Michigan, a team that had put up 1,050 yards in their last two contests. Against the Wahoo defense, the Broncos put up just 91 yards on the ground and were stifled through the air for a majority of the contest. More than 200 of the Bronco's 317 yards in the air were picked up in the fourth quarter, when the game was well out of reach. The Cavalier defense also sacked the Broncos' quarterback three times and caused a number of hurries, interceptions and fumbles. Virginia forced six turnovers on the day, converting most of them into touchdowns. Two interceptions were run back for scores - one by Franklin as mentioned above and another by senior defensive leader and cornerback Almondo Curry on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter. |
