Recruiting News | |||||
This Week In Recruiting Division 1 Football's Evaluation Period is now under way. From April 15 to May 31, the Virginia staff is allowed to call each junior recruit one time. The staff will be able to stop by high schools four out of the six weeks, evaluating recruits, recruiting its top targets and taking another step toward figuring out which high school juniors will be offered before the summer time. TheSabre.com will continue to hit the recruiting trail, following up on those top targets and on those prospects that may be offered by Mike London and company. This week, I'll have an update that includes info on a prospect with an offer and a prospect seemingly on the staff's radar. I traveled to the Butler (Matthews, N.C.) Shrine Bowl this past Saturday and caught up with Independence (Charlotte, N.C.) running back Nyjee Fleming and Ardrey Kell (Charlotte, N.C.) running back Justus Pickett. Fleming, a teammate of current Virginia commitment Adrian Gamble, has been offered by the Cavaliers and has already received a phone call in the Evaluation Period from primary recruiter Anthony Poindexter. Fleming names a clear favorite in this race, so read the EDGE update to find out which school has the lead. In addition to Virginia, Clemson, ECU and N.C. State have offered as well. The 5-10, 200-pound Fleming is built like a rock but showed good speed at Saturday's combine, running the 40 in the 4.4's. A slenderer back, the 5-10, 175-pound Pickett also showed good speed at the combine. He has a handful of FBS offers, but at this point Virginia is not one of them. Primary recruiter Anthony Poindexter has been in contact, though, and plans to stop by Ardrey Kell for spring practice to further evaluate the speedy junior. Also this week, I hope to catch up with top targets including Dominique Terrell, a star ATH out of Osbourn Park (Manassas, VA), Travis Hughes, a standout LB out of Kempsville (Virginia Beach, VA) and soft commit Clifton Richardson, a RB out of Menchville (Newport News, VA). I also plan to catch up with Kyrrel Latimer, who committed to the Cavaliers in the 2010 class but has to attend Fork Union before arriving in Charlottesville. Does the DeMatha (Hyattsville, MD) product still remain committed? I hope to find out this week. Also, I plan to reach 2010 running back recruit K.P. Parks, who had a taste of his future when he attended Virginia's Spring Football Festival on April 10.

News, Notes, and Fan Discussion | |||||
Blog Banter: The Orange Is Back! The Good Ol Blog featured a couple of comments on the football team's new uniforms this week. Check it out ... When Virginia unveiled its new football uniforms last week, people had mixed reactions. When it comes to fashion, that's expected. One thing almost everyone agrees on, however, is that having orange back in the uniform closet is a great move! Rest assured, Mike London and the Cavaliers had the fans in mind with the decision. "We're always asking them to wear orange and The Power of Orange and all that stuff so I think it is important that we be representative of what they wear already in the stands," London said. "Maybe one of the particular games we get the word out that we're having an orange out or a blue out or a white out by what we're wearing. We wanted to bring the orange back for sure." "I think it's important to get the orange back," cornerback Ras-I Dowling said. "I know the fans wear orange so there will be a lot of orange in the crowd so why can't we wear orange on the field. It's a chance for us to have orange with our fans and just be as one." If you want to see more free photos of the uniforms, click here!

Issue No. 24 - February 14, 2002 Words from Tony Franklin TheSabre.com caught up with Tony Franklin recently and got his impressions on his recruiting process and his thoughts on playing at Virginia next season. Franklin, 5-11, 175 (St. Peter Chanel HS, Bedford, OH), is one of the top running backs from the state of Ohio. Here's what he had to say . On Head Coach Al Groh "When I talked with Coach Groh, we had real good conversations and he pretty much is the reason I committed to Virginia. He came off to be a pretty fair and honest guy. He was pretty aggressive in the recruiting process and I liked the way he recruited me." On committing to the Hoos so early (June, 2001) "I didn't want to make this a long process. I only had three top schools: Ohio State, Georgia Tech and Virginia. Once I visited Ohio State and Virginia, I pretty much made my decision where I wanted to go. [With] Ohio State, I really didn't want to stay that close to home. Plus, they have a large stable of running backs, whereas at Virginia, they were not as deep at running back. [I liked] the quicker opportunity to be able to play at Virginia. "I sent [Virginia] a highlight tape of me before they actually came after me. I pretty much went after them. Once I committed, I was pretty sure and I never really thought about changing [my decision]." On Virginia "I liked the campus and on my official visit [Dec. 7], I felt really comfortable with a lot of the players that are on the team: Jonathan Ward, Antwoine Womack, Marques Hagans. They're pretty cool guys. They showed me around a good time when I was down there on campus. It seemed like a place I can fit in."
