Report: London Interviewing At Richmond When the University of Richmond head football coaching job came open last week, speculation immediately included Virginia defensive coordinator Mike London as a candidate. London, a graduate of UR, has experience throughout the college and pro ranks, but has never been a head coach so the opportunity is viewed as a potentially good move for his career. Well speculation of mutual interest has turned to confirmation, according to a report by Jay Jenkins from The Daily Progress in Charlottesville. The newspaper, citing multiple sources, said London is interviewing today with Richmond. Stay tuned for further developments.

This Week In Recruiting Football recruiting ... This past weekend was a big one for Virginia's recruiting efforts, as 6-7, 275-pound offensive tackle R.J. Mattes made an official visit to Clemson. Mattes, a 4-star prospect and Virginia's top remaining target in this class, has one more official visit remaining - a trip to South Carolina this weekend - before he makes his college choice. Clemson is thought to be very high on the Robinson (Concord, N.C.) star's list, so this past weekend's experience was extremely important. Stay tuned, as we will check in with Mattes for comments on the official visit experience as well as his upcoming decision. At this point, we feel this race will come down to Clemson, N.C. State, and Virginia, though Mattes has not yet ruled out North Carolina and South Carolina. Another top remaining target, Chamblee (GA) OL/DT Omoregie Uzzi, was scheduled to make the first of three January official visits this past weekend. The 6-3, 300-pound prospect was scheduled to head to Alabama, so we will check in with him for comments on the visit. Uzzi plans to visit Georgia Tech this coming weekend and Virginia on the weekend of the 25th before making a decision. Also stay tuned this week for the latest on other top remaining targets including Pennsylvania CB Jarred Holley, Virginia WR A.J. Price, and Pennsylvania LB/H-Back Christian Wilson. Checkout the EDGE update below on Price, who plans to make an official visit to Penn State this coming weekend. Virginia is hoping to host Holley and Wilson on official visits this month and possibly as soon as this coming weekend. The Contact period has resumed, so look for the staff to hit the road for in-home and in-school visits in the coming weeks. With only a little more than three weeks until Signing Day, now is indeed crunch time for college coaches to make strides with top targets.
Basketball recruiting ... DeSmet Jesuit (St. Louis, MO) had two games last week, winning the first and losing the second to move to 8-7 on the season. In fact, DeSmet had a four-game winning streak until it was snapped by a 12-2 Chaminade squad on Friday night. In Tuesday night's 49-40 win over Riverview Gardens, Virginia low post recruit John Brandenburg tallied 15 points and 8 rebounds. Brandenburg, a 6-11, 235-pound senior, made 7 of 8 free throw attempts in the win. In a 3-point loss on Friday night, Brandenburg scored 10 points, hauled in 8 rebounds and had four blocks. I hope to catch up with John for comments on his recent performances as well as his entire senior season this week, so stay tuned.
In case you missed it, check out the EDGE article below on top recruit Sylven Landesberg. Landesberg, a 6-6, 195-pound guard/forward out of Holy Cross High School (Flushing, N.Y.) became his school's all-time leading scorer last month, taking the top sport previously held by former Virginia guard Willie Dersch. Landesberg, who is averaging 27.9 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, had led Holy Cross to a 10-2 record this season and Holy Cross' first ever ranking in the USA Today Super Top 25. Holy Cross is the 22nd best team in the nation according to USA Today.
