Recruiting News | |||||
This Week In Recruiting At the beginning of each month, TheSabre.com will release another edition of "Countdown to Signing Day," an in-depth, overall look at Virginia football's recruiting class. A new "Countdown" will be released later this week, so stay tuned for the latest on Al Groh's 2010 football recruiting class. In the meantime, today you can check out the latest on 6'3", 220-pound outside linebacker target Jeremiah Attaochu. The Archbishop Carroll (Washington, D.C.) standout rising senior includes Virginia in the top group of schools he's considering. He attended Virginia's "Future Wahoo Day" and enjoyed the experience. Illinois, Kansas State, Maryland, Minnesota, Syracuse and Virginia are among the programs that have officially offered Attaochu, a standout defensive end in high school. With his athletic ability, though, he projects as a linebacker by many schools on the next level. UVa likes him as an outside linebacker. Currently, Virginia only has one outside linebacker commit in the 2010 class. That is 6'1", 250-pound Chris Brathwaite, who earned an offer from Al Groh after excelling at camp in June. Another Cavaliers outside linebacker target, Kareem Martin, is fresh off a visit to Virginia Tech and plans to reveal a final five this week. The 6'6", 230-pound rising senior, one of the top defensive prospects out of North Carolina, hopes to commit somewhere by the end of the month. The Roanoke Rapids star has received double-digits offers. He has visited Virginia twice this year and enjoyed both experiences, so there is a solid chance Virginia makes the initial cut. Clemson, Duke and Virginia Tech are other programs the big-time athlete has seemed particularly fond of, but we'll find out for sure this week.
Basketball recruiting-wise, the Joe Harris watch continues. Harris, a 6'6", 200-pound guard out of Lake Chelan (WA), may be closing in on a decision, so stay tuned this week to see if he does commit. UVa, Washington State, and perhaps Washington are the primary contenders here.

Inglot Repeats UVa Athletics Media Relations Official Release Virginia men's tennis player Dominic Inglot (London, England) was named the ACC Men's Tennis Scholar-Athlete of the Year for the second consecutive year as the conference announced the 2009 ACC All-Academic Team on Monday. Inglot, a three-time member of the Dean's List at Virginia, was a 2009 ITA Singles and Doubles All-American and ended the year ranked No. 15 nationally in singles. Inglot and Michael Shabaz (Fairfax, Va.) teamed to win the 2009 NCAA Doubles Championship, the first for an ACC team. An All-ACC selection, Inglot was also the MVP of the ACC Tournament. Joining Inglot on the ACC All-Academic Men's Tennis Team are Houston Barrick (Brentwood, Tenn.) and Sanam Singh (Chandigarh, India). Singh, a 2009 ITA Singles All-American earned ACC All-Academic honors for the second consecutive year, while Barrick, a 2009 All-ACC selection, was honored on the academic team for the first time. The ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards were established in September 2007 to be awarded annually to the top junior or senior student-athlete in their respective sports.

Issue No. 286 - April 2, 2007 Hall As Holder Creates Options
Hall may be able to make a similar impact on other special teams units this fall. The Gretna star is making more appearances on special teams this spring as a punt returner (competing for time) and as a holder (first string). That could give Hall an opportunity to showcase some of the high school heroics that earned him so many fans. The electric playmaker rolled up 13,770 career yards of offense at Gretna, breaking Ronald Curry's record. He passed for a state record 8,731 yards and 104 touchdowns in his career and rushed for 5,039 yards and 66 touchdowns. Hall's 170 total TDs rank second in Virginia high school history. While Hall was the back-up holder last season, Groh said the coaches never really saw an opportunity to use him in games, mainly because it would set off the alarm for the opposing sideline. Plus, Groh said it would have been a one-time deal and that one special occasion never presented itself. This season may be a different story. "Now that Vic is there on an ongoing basis, clearly he's somebody we can utilize or he's a threat to be utilized at all times," Groh said. Hall tossed a touchdown pass to Jeffrey Fitzgerald during spring drills last season. In other words, there are some wrinkles in the playbook.
