Look at that list from the past decade though. Sure, UVA had more 'blue chip' players that went in the 1st round or even top 10 (Monroe, Ferguson, etc.), yet during that time (Groh's era) we have owned UVA, only losing once. Groh had some great recruiting classes, as did Welsh, but they didn't always lead to good teams. Groh's 2002 class was pretty hyped up, but things didn't work out. (btw, I'm a little worried about saturday simply because we have little to gain by winning, we're in the title game already).
FYI, Bruce Smith was a 2009 inductee in the HOF. A good UVA student (I'm married to one) would never assume Wikipedia's page is always correct or up to date!
