6-5, 335-pound defensive tackle Marques Slocum was one of UVa’s remaining targets for the 2005 class. It seems that both parties may now be going separate ways.
“I haven’t talked to them in a while,” Slocum said of UVa. “The last time I talked to them was in the last part of September. Some of that may be my fault because I don’t answer the phone all the time. I still like them, but for right now my top 5 is where I want to be. I don’t have any problem with Virginia. I can’t say anything wrong about them. I love Coach London and Coach Price, but I just feel as though I need to go somewhere else.”
