Recruiting News | |||||
This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne Tabor Academy (Marion, MA) senior defensive tackle/offensive lineman Tevin Montgomery is expected to make his college choice this week. The 6'5", 290-pound prospect is expected to choose from Boston College, Vanderbilt, and Virginia. Montgomery has visited all three schools at least once, including a trip to UVa back in August. He took an official visit to Boston College the weekend of Nov. 17, and BC, which just let go head coach Frank Spaziani, is the only school to receive an official visit from the talented athlete. What that means remains to be seen, though a decision should come by the end of the week. This week I hope to reach Montgomery for the latest on his recruitment. And if there is any breaking news, I'll be sure to report it. Otherwise, Virginia's class of 2013 is set for the most part, but the Hoos could still add another player or two before February Signing Day rolls around. At the top of the Cavs' list is heralded senior defensive back Priest Willis, who at least plans to give UVa a closer look with an official visit scheduled for this coming weekend. Willis is a cousin of Cavalier freshman linebacker Demeitre Brim, but this weekend's visit will be huge for Virginia's chances going forward. The Marcos De Niza (Tempe, AZ) product has offers from some of the top programs in the nation. He already has taken officials to Nebraska and Florida State, and he is considering LSU, Notre Dame, and others. TheSabre.com plans to have more on Willis' recruitment before and after his trip to UVa this weekend. The Contact Period for 2013 Class recruiting is underway, meaning the staff can make in-home and in-school visits with high school senior recruits. With most of the class complete, the staff will be busy keeping the committed players in the fold (most of the class seems solid) while also wooing those few remaining uncommitted targets.

Virginia Teams Prep For ACC/Big Ten Challenge The Virginia men's and women's basketball teams hit the court for ACC/Big Ten Challenge games this week. The UVa men's game is at Wisconsin on Wednesday, Nov. 28. It is scheduled for 7 p.m. and will be televised by ESPN2. The Virginia-Wisconsin game is the first meeting between Virginia and Wisconsin in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge and the third meeting overall. The teams split the two previous meetings. The women's team will face Minnesota in a Big Ten/ACC Challenge game against the Golden Gophers on Thursday, Nov. 29 in Minneapolis. The Cavaliers have a 4-1 record all-time in the Challenge, as Virginia defeated Wisconsin (2007), Illinois (2008), Purdue (2009) and Indiana (2011). UVa's lone loss in the event was at Ohio State in 2010. Virginia and Minnesota will meet for the fifth time, with the Golden Gophers holding a 3-1 advantage in the all-time series.

Issue No. 223 - January 6, 2006 Post of the Week
Subject: On the folly of comparing coaches too early Despite the posturing by some anti-Petes, at this point in Gillen's first year, there was very little to criticize. At this point in Dave's first year, there is very little to criticize. It's just not fair to compare them, and it's no more fair to judge Dave a success or a failure at this stage than it was to judge Pete a success or failure at this stage. Both coaches inherited a desperate talent deficit, and deserve(d) a few years before judgement. I think a lot of people are still bitter about being "taken in" by Pete, believing that he could lead us to the promised land, and are disappointed in the results and resolved not to "make the same mistake again," which I understand. I'm bitter about buying the line myself. But I think it's led to excessive and unfair negativity about Dave, as if everyone wants to be the first poster to 'discover' what turns out to be Dave's fatal flaw (as defense and discipline were Pete's). Let's just let it ride. As in Pete's first year, there should be NO expectations for this year. We have seven healthy scholarship players, each with some flaws that more talented complementary players could minimize, but our talent deficit is dramatic, so the flaws can easily become the focus, instead of the strengths. Unfortunately, the rush to be the "I told you so" guy seems to be shifting our focus to the flaws. Let's just watch the team's development and root for the establishment of a new philosophy that can catapult us to the upper level in the ACC, accepting that this year's team could get absolutely clocked and still be a success.
