Yesterday the Virginia football program announced the names of athletes who signed national letters of intent to enroll and officially join the Cavaliers' roster for fall 2007. "This is a fun day for us, to take part in the enthusiasm and life of these 24 young men and their families," Virginia coach Al Groh said. Thirteen of the new recruits are Virginia natives, including one of the nation's top four-star quarterbacks, Peter Lalich, four-star wide-receivers Terence Fells-Danzer and Ras-I Dowling and four-star defensive back J'Courtney Williams, according to Rivals.com. "We talk in two different areas: The players' tools by position are the first thing that gets our attention but second to that is the player's make-up, Groh said." Groh said Lalich has all the physical tools that exhibit proficiency to perform in the Virginia system. "In the terms of make-up, he really stands out, as far as his focus, his ambition to be great and his commitment and work effort toward those objectives, Groh said." Though the list shows an addition of three linebackers, Jared Detrick, Aaron Taliaferro and running back-linebacker combo Fells-Danzer, the coaching staff will determine final placement once each athlete has gained experience on the collegiate playing field. "All three are versatile players, and versatility is a trait that we prize in the players that we recruit, whether it's to go from offense to defense, or vice versa, or to play multiple positions on one side of the ball," Groh said. Though the class holds a high recruit seed, Lalich carries much of the rank weight.
