Dowling Picked By Patriots In NFL Draft UVa Athletics Media Relations, Official Release Virginia cornerback Ras-I Dowling (Cheaspeake, Va.) was selected by the New England Patriots in the second round of the 2011 National Football League Draft. He was the 33rd overall selection, the first pick of the second round. Dowling becomes the highest drafted defensive back in Virginia history. A year ago Chris Cook had that honor when he was selected 34th overall by the Minnesota Vikings. Dowling entered his final season at UVa on three national award watch lists that are handed out by the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA). He was on the Chuck Bednarik Award, Nagurski Trophy and Thorpe Award Watch Lists. He was also a finalist for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award. Dowling was injured most of 2010 after earning his second-straight second team All-ACC nod, anchoring the ACC's No. 4 and the nation's No. 21 pass defense in 2009. Dowling finished the 2009 season ranked No. 6 in the ACC in passes defended (11) and No. 11 in interceptions (three). Entering 2010 he was a College Football Insider preseason All-American (second team). He appeared in five games in 2010 and made 15 tackles, including a season-best eight against Florida State. Listen to the Patriots' Conference Call with Dowling here. |

This Week In Recruiting North Crowley (Fort Worth, TX) senior point guard Kyan Anderson has decided to stay close to home, committing to TCU according to a report on sportDFW.com. UVa put the full court press on the 5-11, 165-pound standout, who in turn made a visit to Charlottesville in the middle of last week. It wasn't enough to sway the talented backcourt prospect, though. Landon School (Bethesda, MD) power forward Darion Atkins, Greater Atlanta Christian (Atlanta, GA) guard Malcolm Brogdon, and Merrill (WI) guard/forward Paul Jesperson are the three recruits in Virginia's 2011 class. No other seniors appear to be on the radar at this point. On the 2012 front, I hope to have more from Episcopal (Fairfax, VA) combo guard Kethan Savage this week. The 6-3, 190-pound junior is on Virginia's watch list, and we'll catch up for the latest on his recruitment.
Football recruiting The Virginia football coaches are on the road in this, the Evaluation Period, which lasts through the month of May. I spoke with St. Joseph (Hammonton, N.J.) linebacker Kaiwan Lewis, who appears to be one of UVa's top overall targets on the defensive side of the ball. Lewis, who expects Virginia to stop by his school this week, will discuss the experience he had in Charlottesville the weekend of the Spring Game, give a general recruiting update, and more in a feature article. One of the most highly recruited juniors in the Garden State, Lewis boasts in the neighborhood of 26 FBS scholarship offers. Also this week ...

Blog Banter: Shamel Bratton Dismissed From Team
After the rumor mill swirled during the week, official news out of Virginia this afternoon indicates that senior Shamel Bratton has been dismissed from the Virginia men's lacrosse team. Here is the official news release from UVa Athletics Media Relations from Friday afternoon:
Virginia's first game following the Bratton decision came Saturday against Penn at Klockner Stadium where the Hoos defeated the Quakers 11-2. "I thought it was the best full 60 minutes we have played the entire season," Starsia said of the win. "We picked a good time to do that. I have said before that there may be no big games in our season, but there are big wins and this is one of them."Read the full UVa Athletics Media Relations news release. Follow the Hoos on The Good Ol Blog.

Issue No. 424 - December 14, 2009
This Week In Recruiting Prior to being introduced as the new Cavaliers coach, Mike London met with 6-3, 215-pound quarterback Michael Strauss. Strauss, who was concluding an unofficial visit, would verbally commit to London late last Monday night, becoming London's first commitment as head coach and the 11th high school senior to commit to the Cavaliers. Strauss was a 2-year starter at Gulliver Prep (Miami, FL), which is coached by former Virginia linebacker Earl Sims. London was also scheduled to meet with massive offensive tackle Morgan Moses last week. We'll check in with Fork Union postgraduate head coach John Shuman for the latest on the 6-7, 340-pound prospect, who signed with Virginia in February of 2009 but enrolled at FUMA when he did not qualify. Seeking a qualifying standardized test score, Moses took the ACT last weekend. He has taken an official visit to South Carolina and reportedly may be on an official visit at LSU today. Florida is also heavily in the mix, Shuman reported last week. Virginia 2010 commits continue to enjoy outstanding success this season. West Rowan (Mount Ulla, N.C.), led by running back Kevin Parks Jr., captured the Class 3-A State Championship for the second consecutive season. Parks had four touchdowns in the win. He'll now participate in the NC/SC Shrine Bowl, which takes place this Saturday. Belen Jesuit (Miami, FL), led by UVa defensive back recruit Pablo Alvarez, won a Class 3A state semifinal match-up and will face Pensacola for the state crown this weekend. Previously, linebacker/H-back Ryan Cobb (Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey, N.J.) and wide receiver E.J. Scott (Good Counsel in Olney, MD) went out as champions. Don Bosco captured a state crown, while Good Counsel won the WCAC title. |
