Recruiting News | |||||
This Week In Recruiting Brewbaker Magnet (Montgomery, AL) guard K.T. Harrell, Lake Chelan (WA) guard/small forward Joe Harris and Nichols (Buffalo, N.Y.) forward Will Regan are the first three players to commit to Virginia's 2010 recruiting class. Coach Bennett and company are off to a great start, but scholarship spots do remain. California forward James Johnson, rated a 5-star prospect by Scout.com and a 4-star recruit by Rivals.com, is one of Virginia's top remaining targets in the 2010 class. Featured in an EDGE article last week, the 6'9", 225-pound recruit is highly interested in the Cavaliers. He toured UVa following the NBAPA Top 100 Camp in June and had a great time, but there is competition here. Johnson listed two other programs high on his list and also plans to visit Arizona State, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State this month. Johnson told TheSabre.com that he should narrow his list by the end of the month. For more info, check out last week's EDGE update. This week, we'll have a full update with Provo (UT) guard Kyle Collinsworth. As we reported last week, it appears Virginia remains highly interested in the 6'5" guard. Further, Collinsworth may set an official visit to UVa for next month. We'll check in again this week for the latest on Collinsworth's recruitment. While Virginia still has work left to do in the 2010 class, there is some action going on in the 2011 class as well. This Thursday, UVa is expected to receive an unofficial visit from top center prospect Marshall Plumlee. Plumlee, a 6'11", 200-pound rising junior, has been offered by Virginia and many other major Division 1 programs. Check out the EDGE profile on Plumlee, who we'll check back with after Thursday's visit as well.
On the football recruiting front, be sure to check out today's update on First Colonial (Virginia Beach, VA) safety/linebacker Nick Dew. Virginia has made up some ground with the 6-2, 195-pound prospect, who is one of the top remaining uncommitted seniors in the state's 2010 class. In other news, Virginia appears to be out of the running with St. Rita (Chicago, IL) defensive tackle Bruce Tallman Jr.. ESPN.com reported last week that Tallman had narrowed his list to six and UVa was not one of the six. UVa remains strongly in contention with Boston College High (Boston, MA) jumbo athlete target Andrew Tallman, though. Tallman, a 6'6", 260-pound rising senior, has a top three of UVa, Miami and Duke according to his older brother, Alan.

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 339 - April 28, 2008 NFL Draft Features 2 Hoos In Top 15 Virginia defensive end Chris Long and offensive lineman Branden Albert were selected Saturday in the first round of the NFL Draft. Their selection continued a run of 25 straight years that UVa has had at least one player drafted and just the second time two Cavaliers have gone in the first round; in 1997, James Farrior (8th) and Jon Harris (25th) both were first round picks. On Sunday, tight end Tom Santi joined the Cav draftee list when the Colts called his number. Long became the second highest draft spot by any player in Cavalier history when the St. Louis Rams called his name at No. 2. The only player to go higher was Bill Dudley, who was the top pick in the 1942 draft. Long's selection continued an ACC streak as well. As the first defensive player selected, it marked the third straight year the ACC had the top defensive player selected. Overall, the ACC had seven players taken in the first round. Albert, meanwhile, landed in Kansas City as projected ... but not with the No. 5 pick when LSU's Glenn Dorsey slipped to the Chiefs early in the day. Instead, KC traded up to the 15th slot overall (from 17) to select Albert. While he played offensive guard at Virginia, Albert is expected to be a tackle on the Chiefs' offensive line. Santi became the third Hoo to be drafted when Indianapolis chose him in the sixth round. An excellent pass-catching tight end, Santi seems to be a good fit for the offensively gifted Colts.
