Senior Farewell The Virginia football team wraps up its season under coach Mike London this week. That means several seniors will be playing their last game for the Hoos. TheSabre.com guru and photographer Mike Ingalls has put together a nice 34-image gallery of the fourth- and fifth-year seniors that were introduced before the Senior Day game with Maryland. Check out that EDGE gallery: click here. At 4-7 in 2010, the Cavaliers are not bowl eligible so the final game will be at Virginia Tech on Saturday. That game is set to kick off at noon on The ACC Network. London said Sunday night that the Hoos are looking at this contest like a bowl game. "For us, it's kind of like a bowl game," London said. "We're not going to a bowl this year, they're a really, really good team, and this is our last game."

This Week In Recruiting On the EDGE ... In lieu of the Division 1 men's basketball Early Signing Period, I spoke with Jim Young of ACCSports.com for further thoughts on the University of Virginia's 3-prospect haul as well as thoughts on ACC men's basketball recruiting. EDGE subscribers can read Jim's takes now on the EDGE. On the football recruiting front, there are rumblings that Phoebus (Hampton, VA) linebacker/defensive end Daquan Romero may be having second thoughts. Might the reigning Peninsula district Player of the Year be reconsidering his commitment to UNC? I hope to have more on this as soon as possible - is UVa in the mix? This Week It certainly will be a happy Thanksgiving for the Good Counsel Falcons. Good Counsel (Olney, MD) defeated DeMatha Catholic (Hyattsville, MD) 42-3 for the WCAC Championship on Sunday. University of Virginia-bound Vincent Croce, who started at middle linebacker and tight end for the Falcons this season, leaves the high school level with two championships. I hope to catch up with the 6-4, 265-pound senior, a defensive lineman prospect for the Hoos, this week to reflect on his latest championship and look ahead to helping the Virginia program rebuild. CB/WR Brandon Phelps, another top Virginia 2011 recruit from the state of Maryland, helped Damascus (MD) to a big playoff win over Quince Orchard last week. The 6-0, 175-pound senior, perhaps a player you'll see on the field next season for the Cavaliers, had two receiving scores in his team's win. I hope to have more with Phelps this week, so stay tuned. I'll continue to hit the 2012 recruiting trail as well. In case you missed it last week, be sure to read up on a couple of in-state junior targets in Brookville (Lynchburg, VA) defensive lineman Korren Kirven and Patrick Henry (Roanoke, VA) offensive tackle Ryan Revia.

Issue No. 16 - Dec. 20, 2001 D'Brickshaw Ferguson Commits to UVa
"I think UVa's an excellent academic institution," Ferguson said. "Also, I was very impressed with the coaching staff. I was impressed that I was able to have a relationship with these guys. I was impressed with the plan that they had for me. I just think it was a great fit for me personally. "I also thought of Virginia as a good University. At the point that I really knew that this was the place for me was probably a few days after my Michigan State visit. I say that because, after I saw what was out there, I was able to make a better decision. I knew that I liked the University, but I wasn't sure whether this was the best possible choice for me. Once I saw what other places had to offer, I realized that those places just didn't compare." Ferguson's older brother is a fourth year at UVa, and that may have had a little influence on his decision to attend Thomas Jefferson's University. "It was real nice situation, because I had somebody who was there for the four years to tell me how life at Virginia was." Ferguson said that he had been to UVa on several occasions to visit his brother. Did that give him enough information to make his decision? "I want to say yes and no. Yes, I learned more about the University, but no, because I never really had an opportunity to see the football facilities until I was being recruited. That sort of gave me a new outlook." UVa has several openings to fill on their offensive line do to graduation from four seniors who have all played since they were freshmen. Ferguson will likely get a chance to play early. "I'd love the opportunity to play as a freshman, but we just have to see how the system goes. I'm going to come in there and try my best and see what happens."
