Happy New Year Hoos! The Sabre wishes everyone a Happy New Year as we enter 2007! Our community of message boards and Web site is celebrating our 10th year and we're thrilled to have all of you along for another exciting year of Cavalier athletics. In the coming months, we'll follow Dave Leitao and Debbie Ryan to see if they can guide their teams to NCAA Tournament berths. We'll follow football's national signing day to see how many players the Cavaliers sign in this class. We'll keep tabs on the baseball team, which opens the preseason with a No. 10 ranking, and we'll monitor the NCAA Championship title defense of the men's lacrosse team. That, of course, doesn't even mention spring football practice where we'll see if the Hoos can get back on track after a rebuilding effort in 2006. The Sabre can't wait to get 2007 started so Happy Hoo Year!

This Week In Recruiting By Chris Horne Virginia commitment J'Courtney Williams is in San Antonio, Texas, this week for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. The 6-3, 220-pound Williams, the only UVa commit set to play in the game, is looking forward to the opportunity of competing with and against some of the best players in the nation throughout the week. "Practicing with those guys, it will be good to see what level I'm on," said Williams, a star LB at Christchurch (VA). "It's not everyday that you get to practice against those types of players. I'm also anticipating what position I'll play. I wonder if I'll be a true outside linebacker or if they'll move me to something else like a rover." For more on Williams, make sure to check out the updates below.
Basketball recruiting ... Virginia basketball commitment Sam Zeglinski and Penn Charter High School will be playing in the 2007 Harrisburg Hoopfest on Jan. 20 at Harrisburg High School in Pennsylvania.

Barber Wraps Up Regular Season With A Bang Former Virginia running back Tiki Barber made sure his last NFL regular season game with the New York Giants was a memorable one. Barber rushed for a team-record 234 yards and scored three touchdowns to lead his team past the Washington Redskins 34-28. The win lifted the Giants into the playoffs where they will face NFC East rival Philadelphia in the first round of the NFC postseason.

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 219 - December 9, 2005 Despite the coaching situation, Virginia had an extremely successful weekend last week by landing four prospects - three of whom were on their official visits to Charlottesville. Coach Al Groh picked up verbal commitments from Vance (Charlotte, N.C.) 5-11, 185-pound defensive back Rico Bell, Prince George (VA) 6-2, 215-pound linebacker John Bivens, Deep Creek (Chesapeake, VA) 6-2, 185-pound defensive back Ras-I Dowling and Malvern Prep (Malvern, PA) defensive back Trey Womack (pictured right). Bell, rated a 3-star prospect by Rivals.com and Scout.com, could play the cornerback or safety positions on the next level. He possesses tremendous speed, as he was timed at 4.37 seconds in the 40-yard dash during the Nike camp in Blacksburg earlier this year. Although he is listed as a "sleeper," there is no mistake that John Bivens is a nice pickup for the 'Hoos. He is a physical, athletic linebacker prospect who impressed the UVa coaches with an outstanding senior season. He would likely have a handful of scholarship offers had he played football as a junior. Dowling, an outstanding athlete who possesses a 40-inch vertical leap and who says he ran a 4.4 in the 40 at Virginia Tech's senior camp this summer, is being recruited as a defensive back. He believes he could play either safety or cornerback for the 'Hoos. Womack was the only player to commit this weekend who wasn't taking his official visit. The 6-0, 175-pound Womack, who chose UVa over Northwestern, is being recruited strictly as a cornerback. He decided to verbally commit to Virginia after an awesome official visit experience last month.
