Recruiting News | |||||
This Week In Recruiting Salem (Virginia Beach, VA) standout Divante Walker was the only uncommitted official visitor on Grounds this past weekend ... that is, until he committed to Mike London and company before heading home on Sunday. The 5'10", 175-pound senior, a big-time performer at tailback this past season, is a cornerback recruit for the Hoos. This week, TheSabre.com will have more on Walker and his decision to commit to the Cavaliers. We'll also check in with numerous other recruits that were in Charlottesville this past weekend. Victory Christian Academy (Lakeland, FL) linebacker/safety prospect Demeitre Brim took some time Sunday night to reflect on his official visit experience at UVa. What stood out to him most was the bond among all of UVa's 2012 recruits. "I think the relationships all the players had," Brim answered when asked what his top highlight was from the weekend. "We all seemed very close. All of us had a relationship with one another. The coaches want what's best for you. They have so much compassion for the players." One player missing on Sunday was North Hall (Gainesville, GA) running back Imani Cross. Cross' high school coach Bob Christmas confirmed Monday morning that the 6'1", 225-pound senior has narrowed his list to Kentucky and Nebraska and cancelled an official visit to Virginia that was scheduled to start on Sunday. We will check in with athlete Trent Corney early next week for the latest on his standing with UVa. Corney, who took an official visit to UVa the weekend of Jan. 13, expects to soon learn his standing in terms of an official scholarship offer from Virginia. Also this week, we'll have the latest on Gil St. Bernard's (N.J.) junior point guard Jaren Sina, who made an unofficial visit to UVa on Sunday. UVa has offered Sina, who had never visited Virginia before.

Starsia Earns FieldTurf Honor Virginia Athletics Media Relations official release Hall of Fame UVa head men's lacrosse coach Dom Starsia was named FieldTurf's 2011 men's NCAA DI Coach of the Year. The honor marks Starsia's third win in the six-year history of the award and second in a row. Starsia also won the award in 2008. "I am greatly appreciative to FieldTurf for having selected me for this award," said Starsia. "It is a company known for quality work and this recognition reflects the effort of everyone associated with Virginia Lacrosse. This past 2011 season is now a special memory and FieldTurf remains a partner in those meaningful achievements." Starsia will enter his 20th season at Virginia in 2012 with 329 career victories, the most all-time at the Division I level, passing iconic coach Jack Emmer (326) with UVa's 2011 NCAA Quarterfinal win against Cornell. His Cavalier squads have won four NCAA titles and reached Championship Weekend 13 times. He has won more games than any coach in the ACC and Virginia history, sporting a 228-72 (.760) record. In 19 seasons with Virginia, Starsia reached his 300th career game with the Cavaliers in 2011, fittingly it was the 2011 NCAA title game against Maryland at Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium. UVa's efforts helped garner Starsia an ESPY nomination for Best Coach. Starisa has been named USILA's National Coach of the Year three times (1985, 1991 & 2011), named the ACC Coach of the Year a record eight times (1995, '96, '99, '00, '02, '03, '06, '09). Starsia and the Cavaliers open up the 2012 season on Feb. 18 when UVa travels up to Philadelphia to contest the Drexel Dragons.

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 167 - Dec. 3, 2004 Another Gill, another Glading in men's lacrosse class Conor Gill helped Virginia win the NCAA championship as a freshman in 1999. Billy Glading did the same as a senior in 2003. Let's hope their little brothers make the same kind of impact for the Cavaliers in the future. Gavin Gill and Danny Glading are among the 10 recruits who signed letters-of-intent with the UVa men's lacrosse team. Both will come to Charlottesville with high expectations, if only because their brothers were All-Americans, but each is a highly-regarded player in his own right. Gill is among the nation's top high school attackmen, having led his St. Paul's team in Baltimore to the MIAA championship as a junior. Glading, a midfielder, is the nation's No. 1 recruit, according to some analysts. He had 45 assists last season for Georgetown Prep in Bethesda, Md. Read SabreMail No. 167 here. |
