This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne This week in recruiting, I plan to have the latest on a number of recruits, including: Jalyn Holmes, Jaryd Jones-Smith, William Jones, Jonathan McLaughlin, and B.J. Stith. Holmes is one of the top prospects in the state in the class of 2014. At 6'5", 235 pounds, the Lake Taylor (Norfolk, VA) defensive end/tight end has received 15 verbal offers, including one from the University of Virginia. I'll preview Holmes and some of the other top in-state targets the Hoos are pursuing in this week's Sabre Scoop. Jones-Smith, Jones, and McLaughlin are all class of 2013 targets of Mike London. All are projected to play on the offensive line on the next level, and the line is definitely a position the staff would like to address with its remaining 2013 scholarships, especially with former commit Brad Henson's de-commitment to North Carolina. Henson, a center/guard recruit out of Monsignor Donovan (Toms River, N.J.), withdrew his pledge to UVa in favor of UNC this past weekend, giving the Hoos only two offensive line recruits in the class (G/C Jack McDonald and OT Sadiq Olanrewaju). Jones-Smith, a prospect out of Philadelphia (PA), is considering Pittsburg, Virginia, and interest from Big 10 schools. Jones, a 6'7", 300-pound recruit out of Augusta (GA), claims a Virginia offer as well as interest from Harvard and Vanderbilt, while McLaughlin is considering ECU, Virginia, and Virginia Tech. The latter just finished a postgraduate semester at Fork Union. He signed with ECU in the class of 2012 but did not qualify. As reported in last week's Strategy Session, UVa class of 2012 recruits Tyrell Chavis and Max Valles have de-committed to explore other opportunities. Both players signed with the Hoos in February of 2012 but did not gain admission. Chavis is still considering UVa, while it appears Valles is more likely to cast his lot elsewhere. Check out more in the Strategy Session. As for Stith, UVa men's basketball's lone class of 2014 recruit, I hope to check in with him again this week for an early update on his junior season. In the coming weeks, I'll take a closer look at UVa's needs for the class of 2014 and which prospects have been offered so far. 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.

Basketball Cheat Sheet The Virginia men's basketball team returns to action this week after taking a break for exams. TheSabre.com Editor Kris Wright wrote a "Basketball Cheat Sheet" article last week so that Cavalier fans could watch the Hoos armed with knowledge. Here's part of that piece:
Joe Harris is "the man" this year. After running as Robin to Mike Scott's Batman last season, junior Joe Harris has stepped up to a starring role this year. The Cavaliers run many of their offensive sets around the wing skills of Harris, who has delivered at a clip of 14.8 points per game. That's up from 11.3 points per game last season. He has also dished out 2.5 assists per game, up from 1.7 helpers as season ago. With 115 shot attempts, Harris has taken at least 23 more shots than anyone else on the club this year too. That comes out to 11.5 shots per game, another increase from 2011-2012 when he attempted 8.6 shots per outing. Read the full EDGE feature here. There was also a great feature on Joe Harris in The Daily Progress over the weekend. Read that here.
New Football Coach Multiple outlets reported late last week that the Virginia football program is expected to announce the hire of a new special teams coach. Jeff Banks has worked for the past 10 years at UTEP as the special teams coordinator and running backs coach. You can read the UTEP bio on Banks here. Read an article about the hire from The Daily Progress here.

Issue No. 496 - May 16, 2011
This Week In Recruiting Virginia got its big-time middle linebacker last week, when Norfolk Christian (VA) junior Kwontie Moore pledged to the Hoos. The 6-1, 242-pound standout, a member of the Rivals.com preseason Top 250, chose the Cavaliers over offers from Arkansas, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Stanford and Virginia Tech, among others. This week, I'll take a closer look at Virginia's defensive recruiting over the course of the past two classes, including an overview of some of the top remaining targets in and out of the state. I'll also break down, position by position, the 2012 roster, examining the biggest needs in this class. With Moore in the fold, Virginia now has four commits in the 2012 class. All four project to play on the defensive side of the ball. Norfolk Christian has four major FBS prospects in its 2012 class. Virginia has gained two of them in Moore and 5-10, 185-pound defensive back Wil Wahee. Virginia Tech is on the board now, though, with 6-5, 210-pound wide receiver/free safety Mario Nixon, who committed to the Hokies over Virginia this weekend. Defensive lineman Courtnye Wynn is the fourth and final recruit, and currently he is high on both in-state schools. Don't be surprised if the 6-5, 245-pound junior makes a decision soon as well, so stay tuned. Read SabreMail No. 496 here. |
