Recruiting News | |||||
This Week In Recruiting All remains quiet on the 2012 football recruiting front, as the Virginia coaches continue to wait out decisions from top remaining prospects. Good Counsel (Olney, MD) 5-star wide receiver Stefon Diggs and Brookville (Lynchburg, VA) defensive tackle Korren Kirven top the list of remaining targets, and both could well wait until the February Signing Day to make their respective decisions. Diggs is considering about eight or nine schools including Virginia. Korren is also considering close to 10 schools and is working on scheduling his official visits. In January, UVa's big recruiting weekend will be the weekend of the 20-22, when most of the 2012 class will be making official visits to Charlottesville. Whether or not top targets will join that mix remains to be seen, but without question that would be the ideal scenario. The 2011 season is over for all 24 of Virginia's high school senior commitments. Buford (GA) cornerback C.J. Moore was the only recruit in action this past weekend, when his team met Calhoun for the Class AA State Championship. Winners of four consecutive state titles, Buford forced overtime with two late touchdowns but ultimately fell in an upset, 27-24. The Wolves were undefeated heading into the contest. Calhoun finishes the year at 15-0. Moore, who also plays running back and wide receiver in addition to his duties at cornerback, rushed six times for 92 yards and had five tackles. His 68-yard touchdown run tied the game at 10, but Calhoun enjoyed a 24-10 lead in the fourth quarter. In other commitment news, St. Joseph (Hammonton, N.J.) defensive end Max Valles was named South Jersey Defensive Player of the Year by the Philadelphia Inquirer. The 6'5", 225-pound senior was a big part of a St. Joe defense that allowed only 17 points all season. Defensive end seems the likely position for Valles at Virginia, though wide receiver and tight end are possibilities as well.

Dex played two years, primarily on special teams, and earned a Super Bowl ring just two seasons ago. With his pro career all but over, Dex has elected to try his hand at coaching in order to keep himself in the game. Poindexter's attitude, enthusiasm and knowledge of the game make him a welcomed edition to an already outstanding coaching staff. Welcome back #3. Read SabreMail No. 44 here. |
