It wasn’t a stellar class, but the news that 6-6, 336-pound offensive lineman Morgan Moses had faxed his letter of intent in had to make Mike London’s first signing day as head coach at the University of Virginia.

Moses had committed to UVa. last fall when Al Groh was still the head man in Charlottesville, but had reportedly still been considering North Carolina and Tennessee, among others, after Groh was let go following a 3-9 season in 2009.

Even with Moses in the fold, the Virginia class was ranked in the middle of the pack in Division I-A, at 65th nationally in both the Rivals.com and Scout.com rankings, and 10th (Rivals) and 11th (Scout) in the 12-team ACC.

The consolation for UVa. fans – the class had been 12th in the conference in the recruiting rankings in the fall, meaning London was able to make a small improvement overall after coming on board in December.
