[CarolinaSpider]

LB that runs 4.6 I love as you cannot have enough quickness out on the field.

 

[SFspidur]

Hamilton Day headed to UR.

 

[MolivaManiac]

Our staff is on a roll.

 

[SFspidur]

For those who haven't seen what an offer letter from UR looks like...

 

[spiderjpo]

You have got to be impressed with the quality of athlete this staff is recruiting and bringing into the program. I think this is a direct reflection of the head coach and the staff he has assembled and maintained since his hiring. Stability is something we have needed for this program and Coach Rocco has definitely come in a filled this void.

 

[mojo-spider]

agree jpo...have to believe Sparky Woods may be having a positive impact too...an impressive group

let's hope when they arrive next summer that they're all as good as they look on highlight tapes and read on paper...

keep up the good work...

Go Spiders!

Joe looks like a great get with his size and ability to run--funny they still label him as a pro-style QB

 

[urfan1]

Xavier Goodall scored two TD's in losing effort, one of 60 yds and the other of 80 yds.

 

[SFspidur]

Apparently we have a commit from Gabe Thomas out of Trinity Prep in Winter Park, FL.

seyoum– ‏@seyoumsettepani
Grateful to to receive my third offer and commit to University of Richmond. Go Spiders!




7:55 AM - 17 Jan 2016

 

[SFspidur]

Seyoum's other offers were Bryant and Central Connecticut. 6'3"-6'4", 290 lb guard.

 

[PawleysSpider]

As we approach the National LOI date, February 3rd, does anyone know how many recruits we hope to sign? Based on our list, unless things have changed, we appear to be currently at twelve (12). Any potential transfer noise? Thanks!

 

[32counter]

Believe we are very close to max including Ben transfer unless some present RsJr's opt not to complete their eligibility.

 

[72Spider]

jmuers reporting that Logan Blake (6'5" 300 lbs. NG out of Liberty Christian in Lynchburg) has decommitted and headed to UR.

Update: He tweeted his commitment to us 30 min. ago,

 

[SFspidur]

Saw on one site that he had earlier offers from Cornell and Yale, so academics look great.

Roanoke Times had him at #87 in their list of 100 top VA players.

 

[CarolinaSpider]

His highlights probably show more RG then NG. He is a man mountain that holds the squat record of 505 at LCS.
Great size and quickness. Could probably add 10-20 more pounds.

 

[MolivaManiac]

Terrific news about Blake. Great choice, young man!

Adam Samee of Clearwater Central Catholic commits to UR:


Big Mauler– ‏@adam_samee

Danny,Adam and Sparky.

 

[SpiderFan]

Looks like he had offers from Akron, Bowling Green, Kent St and Stetson...not a bad list with all the MAC schools.

 

[spiderjpo]

Coach knows how to close the DEAL!

I like the commitment UR is making to Virginia talent. Glad to see we are competing in this football rich state. Seems Basketball is going the same route. Nice!!

 

[Rivercup]

Not sure if anyone else noticed this in today's R-TD but Xavier Goodall, RB from Henrico who committed to UR is listed among the Rivals Top 45 State Rankings (#41) as being "undecided." Has something changed?

 

[72Spider]

Nothing has changed. A few days ago he tweeted congratulations to Marquis Godwin "Congratulations. Welcome to the family."
