Spring football preview: Spring game includes big recruiting weekend

Note: Cavaliers Journal introduces the top story lines entering Virginia's spring football game on Saturday at Scott Stadium. The team takes the field at 12:30 p.m. for a warm-up period, with the scrimmage beginning at 2 p.m.

As much as Saturday is about this year’s team, it’s also the spring’s opportunity for the coaching staff to bring prospective recruits on campus and have them witness tangible evidence of a new system, new coaches and the new atmosphere the Cavaliers are promoting. The introductions of new uniforms Friday afternoon continues London’s emphasis on the changes within Virginia’s football program.

Some of the Cavaliers’ top recruiting targets will attend Saturday. It is supposed to be 70 degrees without a hint of precipitation, and London might have his best chance to impress the future of his program until gamedays in the autumn.

“It’s significant that way,” London said. “Any time we get people on Grounds here … it’s always a positive.”
