This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne UVa has its new coaching staff in place. Late last week and this week, there is no doubt that the staff is busy introducing the new coaches to its class of 2013 recruits, and this week I plan to catch up with as many recruits as possible for their initial reaction to the new staff. The appointment of Jon Tenuta will be the primary focus. Of those UVa commitments known to be exploring other options, all are projected to play on the defensive side of the ball. Fork Union (VA) safety Malcolm Cook has scheduled official visits to Virginia Tech and Wake Forest in addition to the trip he'll be taking to UVa the weekend of Jan. 18. Varina (VA) corner Tim Harris is scheduled to visit UNC after his visit to UVa, which also will take place the weekend of Jan. 18-20. Fork Union (VA) defensive tackle Tyrell Chavis, a postgraduate who signed with the Hoos in 2012 before failing to qualify, is set to visit UVa and Virginia Tech this month. Potomac (Dumfries, VA) defensive tackle Donta Wilkins proclaimed following the Chesapeake Bowl on Dec. 29 that he was firm in his commitment to Virginia. We'll check in with him as well, though, for his reaction to the coaching news. The recruit most on the proverbial fence right now is Westside (Houston, TX) cornerback Hipolito Corporan. Corporan is scheduled to take an official to Utah this coming weekend. The 6'2", 185-pound senior acknowledged he could well switch from the Hoos to the Utes if the visit goes well. His recruitment will be worth watching this week. Also this week....

UNC's Roy Williams On UVa The Virginia men's basketball team knocked off UNC, 61-52, in its ACC opener on Sunday. Here's what North Carolina coach Roy Williams had to say after the game: "I have to congratulate Tony [Bennett]. Obviously, I thought his second half was really good. They were better than we were offensively. They were better than we were defensively. They were more alert, more aggressive. ... "We had a little bit of a run the first couple of minutes of the second half. We had great movement at that time. We had four different guys at least score. After that, we didn't get very good movement. We didn't set the screens the way we wanted to set them, didn't use them the way we wanted to use them. We missed some good shots. At the same time, our defense was breaking down on the other end. ... "Give Virginia credit. They shot 52 percent the second half. We're trying to focus and see if we can do a good job on Joe [Harris]. Joe was really good. I thought Jontel [Evans] coming in was big for them, too. Six assists, three turnovers - I think he had two or three of those turnovers in the first half. I thought the second half that Jontel was really big for them. We couldn't stop him from getting to the basket. ... "We didn't do the things that we wanted to do. Give Virginia credit. They did the things that they wanted to do, and they dominated both ends of the court in the second half." You can read more quotes and notes from VirginiaSports.com.

Issue No. 3 - Sept. 20, 2001 Football Recruiting As mentioned in an earlier breaking news story, the Cavalier football program received a commitment from offensive lineman Brad Butler last Thursday. The news was kept secret until a Lynchburg television station reported the commitment on Monday. Butler is a senior at E.C. Glass H.S. in Lynchburg, Virginia. Butler wasn't on most colleges' radar screen before the announcement, but is said to have a huge upside. Schools like Maryland, Duke, Wake Forest and East Carolina were showing interest, but only the Cavaliers were quick to offer a scholarship. Butler said Virginia was always at the top of his list, so when the Cavaliers made their offer, he accepted. The upside to Butler is his height and the fact that he has very little body fat. At 265 pounds, Butler believes that he could easily play at 330 pounds. He is quick off the line and athletic, but will need to improve his strength. His commitment brings the list to eight total for the 2002 class. Because four of Virginia's starting offensive linemen graduate this spring, his commitment helps to fill a void in the Cavaliers' program. Read SabreMail No. 3 here. |
