Recruiting News | |||||
This Week In Recruiting This week will be filled with updates from this past Saturday's junior day event, which was attended by some of UVa's top targets in the class of 2013 and beyond. An article is up this morning on 6'7", 260-pound offensive tackle recruit Parker Osterloh, who has been offered by Virginia and Virginia Tech. It's very likely that the Warhill (Williamsburg, VA) standout will commit this spring, and there is a good chance right now that the choice will come down to the Hoos and Hokies. Osterloh attended Virginia Tech's Feb. 18 junior day before heading to Charlottesville this past Saturday. I'll also have a full update on South County (Lorton, VA) outside linebacker prospect Oren Burks, who scored offers from Virginia and Virginia Tech within the past two weeks. The 6'4", 195-pound junior, also a Feb. 25 junior day attendee, also boasts offers from NC State and West Virginia. Also planned on Monday is an update on Bayside (Virginia Beach, VA) running back Taquan "Smoke" Mizzell. The speedy and elusive junior had been to Charlottesville numerous times before, but he returned this past weekend for another look. Mizzell, whose recruitment keeps getting hotter and hotter, enjoyed the day. Other notable attendees from this past weekend include Wyomissing Area (Wyomissing, PA) linebacker Alex Anzalone and Liberty Christian Academy (Lynchburg, VA) offensive lineman Braxton Pfaff. Anzalone is one of the top linebacker prospects in the class of 2013, while Pfaff has recently become a hot in-state commodity. We plan to have updates on these players and much more throughout the week.

Virginia Men Capture 15th ACC Crown Virginia Athletics Media Relations official releases On the 25th anniversary of Virginia's first Atlantic Coast Conference swimming championship in 1987, the men's swimming and diving team claimed its 15th conference title Saturday at the Christiansburg Aquatic Center in Christiansburg, Va. It was the fifth consecutive league title for the Cavaliers and the 13th in the last 14 years. The championship also marked the 25th won by the Virginia swimming and diving program, all under 34th-year head coach Mark Bernardino. The UVa women won their 10th ACC crown last week. Bernardino also matches legendary coach Don Easterling, the former NC State mentor, with 15 men's championships. Virginia accumulated 626.5 points throughout the four-day meet to hold off host Virginia Tech (594.5) and North Carolina (564). "We had enough depth and enough good fortune that we were able to capture this one, somehow, some way," Bernardino said. "Virginia Tech and the entire conference this year was tremendous. It's great to win for our seniors and it was great experience for our young athletes. We brought nine to this meet who had never been here before. I hope they learned a little bit about what it takes to perform at this level." For more on the meet, visit Virginiasports.com.
