Football recruit reneges on commitment to Cavaliers

High school football star Lamont Robinson, one of Virginia's top recruits for next season, announced last week that he would sign with Oklahoma after initially committing to Virginia in June, the Richmond-Times Dispatch reported. Robinson, a 6-foot-2-inch, 225-pound linebacker from Salem High in New Jersey, was slated to play inside linebacker in Virginia's 3-4 defensive scheme, but he will now don a Sooner uniform for the perennial top 10 Okalahoma program. Robinson's high school football coach told the Times-Dispatch that Virginia was the "right fit" for the senior, but the recent top five finishes for the Sooners proved to make the difference in Robinson's decision.

"I really feel like we're a pretty good rebounding team and we proved that [against Duke] Friday night," Ryan said.
