The Virginia football program has been busy on the recruiting trail recently. UVa landed 6 commitments in June.

In thinking about the recent rash of commitments, I stumbled across this page from the ACC Sports Journal over at ACCSports.com. It lists all of the Coastal Division commitments by school through Thursday, July 5. To date, according to the lists, Virginia has 15 verbal pledges while Virginia Tech and Duke each have 12. Georgia Tech and UNC have received 10 commitments each, while Miami has 8. The good news for the Hurricanes is that half of those recruits currently are ranked with 4 stars, the most of any school in the Coastal Division currently.
