Recruiting News | |||||
This Week In Recruiting DeMatha Catholic (Hyattsville, MD) rising senior point guard James Robinson has made his decision. Unfortunately for the Hoos, the 6'3", 200-pound prospect has decided to take his game to the Big East, verbally committing to Pittsburgh over Miami, Notre Dame and Virginia this past Sunday. Robinson's decision means that point guard continues to be the big need going forward for Tony Bennett's program. Houston, Texas, point L.J. Rose presumably remains a possibility, though most don't consider Virginia a favorite at this point. TheSabre.com hopes to check in with the standout rising senior soon for more. Other possibilities remain as well. North Carolina rising senior point guard Madison Jones has not been offered by Virginia but could be a player the staff follows closely this coming season. We'll see what happens from now until next spring, but without question the attention is turning sharply to 2013, where it looks like point guard will be a must-get for the staff. Keeping with the 2012 basketball recruiting class, I'll have an article out soon on 6'10", 240-pound center Ryan Rosburg. Rosburg, who attends Marquette High School in Chesterfield, Missouri, lists UVa in his final five along with Missouri, Missouri State, Tennessee and Virginia Tech. All five schools have offered. Rosburg, who was offered by UVa in late July, made an official visit to Missouri State this past weekend and tentatively plans to go to Missouri this weekend. Tennessee is scheduled for Labor Day weekend. On the football recruiting front, I'll take a closer look this week at those in-state rising juniors UVa has already offered. While the staff was racking up the commitments this summer, they were also busy getting offers out to some of the state's top 2013 class prospects. I profiled one - Liberty (Bealeton, VA) DL/OL Wyatt Teller - last week.

Issue No. 367 - Nov. 2010, 2008
Selenski, Krzysik Earn ACC Honors Virginia's Paige Selenski (Shavertown, Pa.) was named the 2008 Atlantic Coast Conference field hockey Freshman of the Year, the league office announced Sunday following the championship game of the conference tournament. She is just the third player in program history to receive the honor and is the first since Meredith Elwell in 1996. "It is a fantastic recognition to Paige and the University of Virginia," said Virginia mentor Michele Madison. "She is an outstanding talent among UVa's great first-year class and no one works harder in practice. Her game gets better and better as she is a great listener and always accepts her role on the team. Selenksi, a forward, led Virginia in scoring with 17 goals and tied for a team-best with nine assists for 43 points this season. She played in all 21 games and tallied a team-high 97 shots. Additionally, six of her goals were game-winners. Meanwhile on the soccer field, Virginia senior defender Nikki Krzysik was named the 2008 ACC Defensive Player of the Year and five Cavaliers earned All-ACC honors as the conference announced its women's soccer honors on Tuesday. "Our entire program is extremely proud of the players who earned 2008 All-ACC honors, especially Nikki's distinction as the Defensive Player of the Year," said head coach Steve Swanson. "To have as many players as we had represented on both squads is a tribute to every member of our team and how hard they all have worked throughout the regular season. We are looking forward to the ACC tournament this week." Krzysik becomes the third Cavalier to be named ACC Defensive Player of the Year since the league split the player of the year award into an offensive and defensive honor in 2004. Sarah Huffman was the inaugural Defensive Player of the Year in 2004 and Becky Sauerbrunn took the honor last season. |
