SabreMail Moves to Mondays! Today marks a special day for TheSabre.com's exclusive SabreMail feature. Why? For two reasons really. First, this is the 250th edition of the free weekly feature - Happy Anniversary SabreMail! Secondly, in an effort to better serve our readers, SabreMail is moving to Mondays starting with this issue. The move to the beginning of the week from Fridays will make SabreMail an even more valuable resource for all of the Cavalier fans out there. By placing the editions on Mondays, the Sabre will be able to provide weekend recaps from all the Wahoo sports events - that way, you'll know all the Wahoo news at the beginning of the work week. Also, the Sabre will be able to provide everyone with sneak peaks at articles scheduled to appear on the Web site (Check out the What's New section!). This will also allow Chris Horne to provide more timely "This Week in Recruiting" pieces since so many recruits visit the schools on the weekends. To make SabreMail easier to follow, one more small change has been made to the recruiting section. Now, the past week's recruiting articles will appear in the "Recruiting News" section of SabreMail instead of the "What's New?" section. Plus, there's a whole new section called "SabreMail History" - we'll provide you with a tidbit from a past SabreMail so you can relive some Wahoo moments that have appeared in these editions. Don't worry, all of the old features are still there too! You can still check out the weekly Bookstores item and sponsors in addition to the "News, Notes, and Fan Discussion" section. Plus, we'll still provide the links to the features from the past week in the "What's New?" section. The "Around the World of Wahoo Sports" feature will remain in its usual location (News, Notes, and Fan Discussion) as well. You can sign up yourself or a friend for SabreMail here. There really isn't a better resource for Hoo fans so sign up today!

This Week In Recruiting By Chris Horne
The future of the 6-5, 225-pound standout is unclear at the moment. UVa has recommended George attend Hargrave Military Academy, but there could be other options including another college. Where Johnson ends up should be known in the coming week or two, so stay tuned. Meanwhile, Deep Creek (Chesapeake, VA) OL Billy Cuffee is planning to head to Hargrave Military Academy and then to the University of Virginia according to Cuffee's mother, Hilda. Billy has applied to Hargrave and is awaiting the results of his application. Ms. Cuffee indicated that "nothing is set" right now, but this is the likely course of action for the 6-5, 300-pound line prospect. Ms. Cuffee added that Cuffee's former teammate at Deep Creek, Ras-I Dowling, would like to follow Cuffee to Hargrave. Dowling, a safety/wide receiver prospect, also signed with UVa earlier this year. So, of the eight players who signed with UVa in February but were denied by Admissions, here are apparent destinations at this time .
On the 2007 recruiting front, a decision will very likely come within the next two weeks from Salesianum (Wilmington, DE) tight end Andrew Szczerba. The 6-6 ˝, 255-pound prospect is trying to schedule a final visit to Penn State (with his family, including father, mother and twin sister) for next week before he makes a decision. The two finalists are UVa and Penn State.

Issue No. 133 - April 9, 2004 A Look Back at Recruiting ...
This week the Cavaliers landed commitments from Bath County HS (VA) tight end John Phillips and North Stafford HS (VA) offensive lineman Patrick Slebonick. Phillips, a 6-6, 240-pound prospect, chose the Hoos over an offer from Virginia Tech. William & Mary, which his brother Jacob will attend next year on a football scholarship, also was seriously in the running. UNC was heavily recruiting him as well.
The weekend of April 17th and 18th promises to be a big weekend for the Hoos. The 17th is the Spring game, followed by the Nike Camp on the 18th. Don't be surprised if UVa pulls out another commitment after that weekend.
