Canty Wins Super Bowl With Giants The New York Giants won Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday night, defeating the New England Patriots 21-17. Former Virginia star Chris Canty, a New York defensive lineman that introduces himself in the pregame lineups with a hearty 'Wahoowa', earned a Super Bowl ring with the victory. Canty had 1 Tackle For Loss in the game and it came at a critical time. With New England leading 17-15 in the fourth quarter, the Giants' defense got the ball back for its offense by forcing the Patriots to punt. On the series that forced the punt, Canty made his tackle on first down and the next two passes from Tom Brady fell incomplete. That gave Eli Manning and New York the ball with 3:46 to play. The Giants drove for the winning score. Prior to the game, Canty made some headlines when he posted on Twitter that the Giants would win the Super Bowl, but later deleted the Tweet. Virginia fans can check out Canty's website www.chriscanty99.com as well as other former player websites on TheSabre.com's Former Player Sites And Charities page. Let us know if we're missing any sites and we can add them to the list!

This Week In Recruiting How good Virginia's 2012 recruiting class is will ultimately be played out on the field, but certainly there is promise. Rankings-wise, the group is rated in the top 25 in the nation by 247Sports.com and in the top 30 nationally by Rivals.com and Scout.com. The Wahoos continued last year's success in the state, signing 13 players from the Commonwealth including 10 players from the Tidewater/Virginia Beach area in coach Mike London's second full class as head coach. Virginia Beach defensive end Eli Harold, considered a 5-star recruit by Scout.com and 247Sports.com, is the jewel of the class. Virginia added more athleticism and speed to the team overall, a priority of London and company since taking over in Charlottesville. Virginia is still in touch with at least one other current high school senior in Thousand Islands (Brockville, Ontario, Canada) athlete Trent Corney. The Ottawa Citizen reported last week that Corney, a 6'3", 243-pound H-back/outside linebacker prospect, had accepted an offer from UVa. Our sources indicate a decision has not been made, though, and we have been unable to confirm anything with Corney. We hope to have more on this situation later in the week or as it develops. So, Signing Day 2012 has come and gone. Recruiting is a year-round deal, though, so as the 2012 class became official, the focus now shifts to 2013. EDGE subscribers can check out the latest Strategy Session posted last Friday where Kamikaze Hoo and I examine the projected numbers and needs for the upcoming class. Look for more 2013 class coverage in the coming weeks leading up to Feb. 18 and Feb. 25 junior days. We'll also have a full report on those high school seniors expected to walk on at Virginia next year. With the place-kicking and punting spots open for competition, certainly some of those recruited walk-ons will be worth watching next summer.
Chris Horne, our resident recruiting expert, provides updates throughout the week for EDGE subscribers about UVa's commitments and recruiting targets in football and men's basketball.

National Team Duo Recognized Virginia Athletics Media Relations official release Virginia field hockey players Paige Selenski and Michelle Vittese were honored last week for National Girls and Women in Sports Day at John Paul Jones Arena. Selenski and Vittese were members of the United States' first gold medal team in field hockey at the 2011 Pan American Games held in October in Guadalajara, Mexico. The Americans upset world No. 1 Argentina 4-2 in the championship match to automatically qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games. Both Cavaliers contributed with a goal apiece in the gold medal game.
