    Bobi Klintman - Top 6

    As recruiting at this stage has become rather fluid, here's an update for you. It appears that Coach Bennett did not attend the open gym at Sunrise Christian. No one from Virginia's staff did. Everyone was on the road visiting 2023 prospects. However, Ryan Dunn is reportedly taking an OV to...

    Bobi Klintman - Top 6

    At the moment, it is thought that the staff is trying to arrange an OV for Ryan Dunn. Julian Phillips has Virginia listed in his Top Ten, but no one knows much about his recruitment or his leanings. As Virginia cannot make any comments about whether an offer has been extended, and since the...

    Bobi Klintman - Top 6

    Just to update, going into the 2021/22 season, Virginia has just ten scholarship players on the roster. Currently, there are three commitments for the 2022 class, and, at the moment, there are only three targets who are thought to be still actively recruited, and no one knows for sure about one...

    UL offers Reed Sheppard

    Just to correct my earlier response to this post, I understand now that Sheppard has already had his unofficial visit to UVa. Evidently, it took place on or around June 15th. Little to no fanfare. Coach Bennett's presence at his games this past weekend created more buzz than the visit. Make...

    UL offers Reed Sheppard

    In the past, Coach Bennett, with the exception of foreign recruits, has not extended an offer to a prospect until he has had the opportunity to evaluate his play in person. Bennett and an assistant are doing just that today. For both of Sheppard's games. Unless he sees something he really...

    NJs Rahim In Portal

    On the remote chance you're not being facetious, perhaps a more detailed, if not biased, view of Bennett's program is in order. First, UVa did finish first in the ACC's regular season. Of those season ending losses, two of them were at FSU and at Duke. Against N C State, Tomas Woldentensae...

    Reed Sheppard To Visit Little Brother in June

    FWIW, UVa hasn't offered Reed Sheppard yet, either. Typically, Coach Bennett does not offer grants until he has evaluated the high school prospect's play in person. Some exceptions to this have occurred with foreign players, but not so much for those playing in the USA. Sheppard and his...

    "Industry standard A practice, method, process or criteria adopted as convention by industry members either through formal agreement or through emulation of best practices established by industry leaders." There are no 'industry standards' for evaluating prep talent, and 24/7 certainly isn't it.

    There are no 'industry standards' when it comes to ranking high school athletes. None of the services have either the resources or skill to do a thorough job. They may get the top 15 to 25 right, but beyond that it's a crap shoot. I imagine they don't care that much either. Their primary...

    Rutgers offers 2019 Big Man Kadin Shedrick

    Conventional wisdom says Shedrick does redshirt. Every returning 'big' on Virginia's roster next season has had a redshirt year. In all likelihood, Caffaro will redshirt this year, too. Shedrick has stated that he isn't opposed to doing it, and, given how young he is and his need for physical...

    Another Former RU Coach

    Actually, Littlepage's record at UVa is far from modest, IMO. First, football was in decline during Welsh's last years. Groh managed to breathe some life into it, but he did so by recruiting too many kids that weren't prepared for the academics. Attrition decimated his final squads. London...

    How are B1G - ACC matchups determined?

    Theoretically, there are a number of elements that determine the match-ups. First, late last spring an informal poll was taken of the coaches/AD's in each conference to predict the order of finish for the coming season (for their own conference). Then, the #1 ACC team was tentatively matched...

    We have the worst Marketing department not just in college sports, but anywhere

    Actually, my impression from afar (and, I doubt that it is unique) is that the folks at Rutgers can't find anything positive to say about their program, itself, so they're inventing connections. It is not so much that people are laughing, but, rather, they're just shaking their heads in...
