Will be interesting to watch UVA's recruiting this year with the new coach. My guess is that Ruffin McNeil will be doing at least some of that recruiting, which is a plus for the Hoos.

Mike London remains a factor as he is now an assistant coach at Maryland. London is an accomplished recruiter.

According to the Twitterverse, Charlotte Latin cornerback Melvin Rouse has committed to Duke. He is not rated and it appears Duke is his only offer.

According to some emails I've received, some folks are saying Rouse "committed" prior to Coach Cutcliffe actually offering him a scholarship. A bit of confusion over this one...
