Recruiting News | |||||
This Week In Recruiting This week's football recruiting coverage features offensive and defensive linemen. Virginia continues to be one of the top contenders for Lake Braddock (Burke, VA) offensive lineman Khamrone Kolb. Kolb, a 6'6", 300-pound rising senior, is now leaning towards taking official visits before committing and knows of three official visit destinations already. He discussed the latest on his recruitment as well as his recovery from a torn ACL in the latest EDGE update, which is already up on the site. Kolb is ranked No. 14 in TheSabre.com's current in-state top 30. Besides Virginia, he has been offered by Connecticut, Maryland, North Carolina, N.C. State, Penn State and Virginia Tech, among others Stay tuned for more this week on several other rising senior bigs, including South Columbus (N.C.) defensive tackle Ethan Farmer and Boston College High (Boston, MA) jumbo athlete Andrew Tallman. Virginia has offered Farmer, a versatile 6'4", 265-pound prospect, as a defensive tackle. Alabama, Clemson, North Carolina, N.C. State, Penn State and Virginia Tech are among the other offers for the talented prospect, who plays tight end and on the defensive line in high school. Tallman, whose first offer came this spring from the Cavaliers, is a 6'6", 260-pound tight end/defensive end in high school. Alan Tallman, Andrew's brother, says the Virginia staff believes Andrew has potential at several positions including defensive end, outside linebacker and offensive line. Other offers include Miami, Syracuse and Utah, but Virginia is in strong position at this point.
On the basketball front, Lake Chelan (WA) guard Joe Harris indicated earlier this month that he may be ready to commit to a school by early August. We'll check back in with the 6-6 rising senior prospect for the latest on his recruitment. Harris has been offered by Virginia and Washington State, among others, and was leaning toward the Cavaliers at last check.

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 325 - January 21, 2008 London Takes Richmond Job Last week, SabreMail told you that Mike London was interviewing with the University of Richmond about its head football coaching vacancy. Less than one week later, London accepted the position - which he interviewed for in 2004 but was not hired - at his alma mater. He was officially introduced at a news conference on Saturday. "I'm excited about the opportunity that has been presented to me," London told the Richmond Times-Dispatch. "I've walked the grounds here. I've been on the football field and the practice field. I know what it takes to be a student-athlete at this school. Things didn't work out the first time, but I firmly believe that things happen for a purpose. I needed more training, and now I've come back and I'm ready." London's depature marks the fourth time during Al Groh's tenure at UVa that an assistant has been hired by another school to be its head coach. Al Golden (Temple), Danny Rocco (Liberty), and Ron Prince (Kansas State) are still head coaches at those schools today. Of course, this also means that Groh will have to find a replacement yet again. The key for him will be to not only find a capable coach, but a capable recruiter. London was one of the top assistants on the UVa staff on the recruiting trail; high school coaches and players routinely praise London for his genuine interest in recruits. Stay tuned.
