London didn't have to add many players
down the stretch, but more importantly
he kept the commitments intact for the
class of 2013.
Rivals.com ranked Virginia's recruiting haul
No. 28 overall in the country, No. 5 in the ACC
and sixth in the league in average stars per player.
UVa's class was also rated No. 21 by MaxPreps.com,
No. 29 by 247Sports, No. 34 by ESPN and No. 40
by Scout.com.
Virginia had 18 of the 22 members of the class
committed prior to the start of the 2012 football
season. The Cavaliers added two players down the
stretch — Alpharetta (Ga.) High offensive lineman
George Adeosun and Richmond (Va.) Mills E.
Godwin offensive lineman Eric Tetlow.
"It's truly a class that is filled with quality, depth
and a lot of players that can be provided opportunities to play right away," London said. "I think it's a
very talented class.
"It met specific needs that we had, particularly at
the offensive line position."
London pointed out that the addition of Adeosun
and Tetlow helped complete the class, which had
Virginia Beach (Va.) Bayside star Taquan Mizell,
the crown jewel of Virginia's 2013 class and a
U.S. Army All-American, is rated by Rivals.com

running back in the land and the No. 29 overall
player nationally.
