This Week In Recruiting Basketball recruiting ... The Early Signing Period for Men's Basketball begins on Wednesday and lasts through next Wednesday, November 21. All three of UVa's commitments - G Sylven Landesberg, C John Brandenburg and C Assane Sene - are expected to sign within this period. Though team rankings have yet to come out, Virginia's class is expected to be highly rated. The 6'6", 190-pound Landesberg, a star out of Holy Cross High School (Flushing, N.Y.), is rated a 4-star recruit by Rivals.com and Scout.com. Rivals currently rates him as the 54th best prospect in the country, while Scout considers him to be the 38th best overall recruit. Brandenburg, a 6'11", 235-pound prospect out of De Smet Jesuit (St. Louis, MO), is also rated a 4-star prospect by the two main national recruiting sites. He is rated the 68th best prospect in the country by Rivals and the 81st best by Scout. Sene, a promising prospect, is rated a 3-star recruit by Rivals and Scout. The 7'0", 230-pound South Kent (CT) prospect could rise significantly with a standout senior season. Stay tuned to the coming weeks for analysis on Virginia's 2008 class of signees as well as a look at how the rest of the ACC has done in the early going.
Football recruiting ... Though Virginia has its bye week this weekend, the recruiting trail will still produce some news. Gateway (Monroeville, PA) standouts Shayne Hale and Cameron Saddler are scheduled to make official visits to Michigan this weekend. The weekend will certainly be alive in Ann Arbor - the Wolverines host Big 10 rival Ohio State. This will be the second official visit for both prospects. Hale, a 5-star linebacker, and Saddler, a 3-star WR/KR/PR, each visited the University of Virginia on the weekend of November 3. In case you missed it, check out updates last week on each prospect. We will be sure to check back with these two following this weekend as well. In case you missed it, be sure to check out last week's updates from Virginia's 17-16 win over Wake Forest. Included are reports on Hale and Saddler, WR A.J. Price, Henry Clay (Lexington, KY) senior WR Aaron Boyd and junior OL Samuel Simpson, Deep Run junior DE Jake Snyder, and more.
South Lakes (Reston, VA) wide receiver A.J. Price has busted out on the recruiting scene. Last week, the 6-4, 170-pound standout received official offers from Michigan and Penn State. Price made an unofficial visit to Virginia for the Wake Forest game, but as of late last week the Cavs hadn't offered. That could change soon as the staff no longer has the luxury of waiting to offer Price. Stay tuned for more on this situation this week. If UVa does offer, it could be in pretty solid shape based on our last update with Price.
Game Balls ... 6'0", 190-pound running back Torrey Mack rushed for two touchdowns (25, 20) and hauled in 64-yard touchdown reception in Stratford's 49-8 win over Nonnewaug. The win moves Stratford to 8-1 on the season. Billy Schautz and the rest of his Bergen Catholic (Oradell, N.J.) teammates captured a 43-7 win over Red Bank Catholic in the first round of the Non Public, Group 4 state playoffs. Bergen Catholic will now face Will Hill-led St. Peter's Prep this Saturday at 1:00. St. Peter's is coming off a 59-21 first round win over Camden Catholic.
