There are plenty of reasons for the Vermont Lake Monsters’ success in recent weeks, but a contingent of commits to UVA certainly hasn’t hurt. Anhtony Stephan, Justin Rubin, and Futures League MVP finalist Ethan Anderson were three of the Monsters’ best position players this season, their first above the high school level. This weekend, UVA head coach Brian O’Connor, who has taken Virginia to Omaha five times in the dugout and once as a Creighton player, made his first ever trip up to see his guys play. O’Connor says it would be tough to be any more impressed by Burlington.
