This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne Here is what is planned this week on the recruiting front ... 5-star senior PF/C Austin Nichols made an official visit to UVa this past weekend, and I plan to have an update on his experience and where he will go from here. The Briarcrest Christian (Eads, TN) tweeted his initial thoughts early Saturday morning, when he wrote: "UVA is great! Great atmosphere! The coaches are also great!" As of now, the expectation is that Nichols will take his remaining four official visits before making a commitment. Up next is an official visit to Vanderbilt this weekend. Duke is scheduled for early October. Auburn, Memphis and Tennessee are the other finalists here. UVa basketball scored a commitment from Crespi (Encino, CA) senior PG London Perrantes last Monday. This week, I hope to have an in-depth EDGE piece on the 6'1" floor general, who picked the Hoos over Arizona State, Illinois, and Washington State. Crespi head coach Russell White had the following to say about his prized recruit: "He sees the floor very well. He always has. He has an innate ability - and this is nothing I've taught him - to know what's going to happen two or three seconds in advance. He changes speeds and makes ball-fakes as well as anyone I've seen, and I've been coaching high school since I graduated [California Lutheran University] in 1994. He is tremendous at changing speeds with the dribble and using ball-fakes to create openings." Tony Bennett and company now have two commitments in the class of 2013, including Perrantes and Cape Henry Collegiate (Virginia Beach, VA) point guard Devon Hall. On the football front, some of the state's best class of 2014 recruits were in Charlottesville this past Saturday to see Virginia's 17-16 win over Penn State. There is a list of those confirmed visitors on the Good Ol Blog, and this week I'll be busy catching up with as many of these recruits as possible for reaction to the game. As always, be sure to check out the Good Ol Blog for the "Week In Review," a look at how UVa's commitments performed on the gridiron in the past week. Only Salisbury School (CT) offensive tackle Sadiq Olanrewaju has yet to suit up for a regular season game, but all others were in action this past weekend.

Sampson Enters Hall of Fame Virginia basketball legend Ralph Sampson was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday. Sampson was the three-time National Player of the Year while at Virginia. He became the No. 1 pick in the 1983 NBA Draft and won NBA Rookie of the Year. Sampson earned NBA All-Star status four times before knee injuries slowed his career. Watch Sampson's induction speech on NBA.com: click here. Also make sure to read this FREE essay from Emily Giffin, who writes that Sampson always did his best, where he was, with what he had.

Issue No. 16 - December 20, 2001 D'Brickshaw Ferguson Commits to UVa
D'Brickashaw Ferguson, a 6-5, 250-pound athlete, is New York's top offensive linemen. He committed to the Cavaliers this past weekend. "I think UVa's an excellent academic institution," Ferguson said. "Also, I was very impressed with the coaching staff. I was impressed that I was able to have a relationship with these guys. I was impressed with the plan that they had for me. I just think it was a great fit for me personally. "I also thought of Virginia as a good University. At the point that I really knew that this was the place for me was probably a few days after my Michigan State visit. I say that because, after I saw what was out there, I was able to make a better decision. I knew that I liked the University, but I wasn't sure whether this was the best possible choice for me. Once I saw what other places had to offer, I realized that those places just didn't compare." Ferguson's older brother is a fourth year at UVa, and that may have had a little influence on his decision to attend Thomas Jefferson's University. "It was real nice situation, because I had somebody who was there for the four years to tell me how life at Virginia was." Ferguson said that he had been to UVa on several occasions to visit his brother. Did that give him enough information to make his decision? "I want to say yes and no. Yes, I learned more about the University, but no, because I never really had an opportunity to see the football facilities until I was being recruited. That sort of gave me a new outlook."
