This Week In Recruiting There is no question that 2010 class recruiting continues to be tough sledding for Al Groh and company, particularly as the Cavaliers moved to 3-5 on the season following a loss to Duke. Still, Virginia's high school senior commitments continue to enjoy success in their respective seasons. Not surprisingly, the good news starts with 5-7, 190-pound running back Kevin Parks Jr.. Parks, a star out of West Rowan High School in Mount Ulla, North Carolina, has been selected to to the 2010 North Carolina/South Carolina Shrine Bowl. A 4-year starter on the varsity level, Parks still could end up the state's all-time leading rusher before his career is over. Wide receiver E.J. Scott, the subject of an EDGE article last week, hauled in a 48-yard touchdown reception in Good Counsel's (Olney, MD) 37-7 win over Gonzaga. The Falcons are now 8-1 on the season. "I'm just looking to get after it," Scott said in last Thursday's EDGE update. "I'm going to try to get after it." The 5-11, 175-pound speedster was averaging 19 yards per catch heading into last week's contest. Belen Jesuit (Miami, FL), led by Virginia defensive back recruit Pablo Alvarez, captured the District 15-3A title with a 27-17 win over Norland. Alvarez, a 6-3, 185-pound senior, has potential as a cornerback or safety on the next level. Bayside (Virginia Beach, VA), which features UVa linebacker recruit Henry Coley, moved to 8-1 on the season after a 21-17 win over First Colonial. The Beach District champions have not yielded more than 17 points in any game this season.
On the basketball recruiting front, the National Letter of Intent Early Signing Period begins on Nov. 11 and lasts until Nov. 18. Virginia is expected to sign all five of its commitments, including Lake Chelan (WA) guard/forward Joe Harris, who took some time Sunday night to update his senior year. Stay tuned to the EDGE later Monday for more on Harris, who is a 6-6, 200-pound senior. Stay tuned to the EDGE later this month for further analysis on coach Tony Bennett's 2010 recruiting class and a look ahead to 2011 recruiting.

Camp Wahoo's Food Drive The Sabre's good friends at Camp Wahoo - a tailgating group of Cavalier fans - are holding a "Hoos for the Hungry Food Drive" next month to benefit The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank was established in 1981 to help feed hungry people throughout Virginia and serves 25 counties and nine cities in northern and central Virginia. The bank has distributed more than 100 million pounds of food. The drive is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 14, the day of the Boston College game. It will run from 8 a.m. until kickoff of the game. Please visit the Camp Wahoo tailgate on your way to the game and drop off canned goods or other non-perishible foods to help reach the goal of donating 400 pounds of food to feed the area's hungry families. The Camp Wahoo tailgate is located on the corner of McCormick Road and Cabell Drive on game days. This location is just beside Clark Hall, near the UVA Bookstore, and the 'East M' parking lot.

Issue No. 311 - Oct. 1, 2007
This Week In Recruiting Basketball recruiting ... Virginia men's basketball coach Dave Leitao and staff got on the board in the 2008 recruiting class in a big way last Thursday, when 4-star guard Sylven Landesberg pledged to the Cavaliers. Landesberg, a 6-6, 195-pound senior out of Holy Cross High School (Flushing, N.Y.), chose UVa over Georgia Tech and St. John's, among others. Landesberg is rated a 4-star prospect by Rivals.com and Scout.com. Rivals currently rates him the 55th best player in the country in its national rankings, while Scout has him listed as the 39th best prospect nationally. As a junior last season, Landesberg averaged 25.7 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game en route to earning Catholic league Player of the Year honors. One of Virginia's top targets in this class, the Empire State star has the versatility to play either guard position and could move to wing forward as well.
