2015 Official Recruiting Thread

So, I'm slowly going to put together a comprehensive recruiting thread for 2015 since the 2014 cycle is coming to an end.

Here's a projected two-deep for the 2015 season. Feel free to make angry comments, call me a dumbass and/or laugh the the fact that Andrew Brown and Quin Blanding will be starting their r-Fr. year under UVA's new head coach Charlie Weis. I'll make changes if it's obvious I made a mistake. I assumed no one was going to leave early for the NFL.
