Blog Post of the Week The Good Ol' Blog continues to evolve here at TheSabre.com and thanks to the men's basketball team, there is plenty to talk about. For instance, is Virginia a lock for the NCAA Tournament? Can Hoo fans hope for a high seed? What does the RPI mean to Virginia? Rob Mahini tackled the RPI question in the Blog Post of the Week:
Every year, there's a lot of talk about the RPI of different basketball teams. Does a team's RPI show that it deserves to be in the Big Dance? Does this one show that a team is not beating quality opponents? Does this show that a coach is using his timeouts to quickly? 12. 69. 33. Digits floating around in order to define a team's resume. Modeling agencies doesn't care about numerical measurements as much as the college basketball world.

This Week In Recruiting By Chris Horne Men's basketball ...
The 6-4 senior, who signed with UVa last November, was 29 points short of the record heading into the game. He now has 1,903 career points in the Philadelphia Catholic League. Monsignor Bonner's win was a big one, as it clinched a playoff berth and fourth place in the Catholic League Southern Division.
Following UVa's big home win over Florida State on Saturday, Charlottesville area fans had a chance to see some of the top high school basketball teams in the country at John Paul Jones arena in the Charlottesville Shoot-Out. The first game pitted Benedictine (Richmond, VA) against the local Blue Ridge School. Benedictine of course features top junior Ed Davis. Although the 6-8 Davis struggled to an 8-point performance on 2-of-10 shooting, the Cadets escaped JPJ with a 52-47 win despite a late surge by Blue Ridge. Davis, one of UVa's top targets for the 2008 class, added 13 rebounds, three assists, and three blocks in the contest. The second game featured two of the country's top programs in Oak Hill Academy and Montrose Christian (Rockville, MD). Led by Duke-bound senior guard Nolan Smith, Oak Hill toppled Montrose 74-65. Smith finished with 25 points (7-9 from the floor; 10-13 from the line) and five rebounds in the win. UVa is targeting a few recruits from the second game - specifically, Oak Hill junior PF/C Howard Thompkins and Montrose Christian sophomore F Tristan Spurlock. Stay tuned for more on these players in the Sabre EDGE recap of Saturday night's games.
Football recruiting ... UVa will host a junior day this Saturday for the men's basketball game against Georgia Tech. A number of recruits are expected to be on hand on Saturday and UVa could garner a verbal commitment from the event. A list of confirmed visitors will be posted on the Sabre EDGE later in the week. Also stay tuned for more info on the 2008 class of recruits, including feature profile articles and more.

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 196 - July 1, 2005 Chris Dalton also committed to UVa's 2006 football recruiting class this week. A 6-1 ½, 165-pound prospect out of West Iredell HS in Statesville, North Carolina, Dalton plays wide receiver and cornerback in high school but is being recruited as a receiver for UVa. As a junior last season, Dalton caught 37 passes for 525 yards and five touchdowns. He returned 14 kickoffs for 336 yards and two scores and intercepted four passes on defense. Very athletic, Dalton excels in track and field in addition to football. "He's tremendously quick and fast," West Iredell head coach Mark Weycker said of Dalton in the Sabre EDGE article. "He's a young man right now. He hasn't even turned 17 years old, so physically he's the type of kid I envision in three years carrying about 195 pounds and be as quick or quicker and as athletic as he is right now. He's just real explosive and real athletic." In track, Dalton finished second in this year's 300-meter hurdles event and finished fifth in last year's 110-meter hurdles event. He posted a 4.33 time in the 40-yard dash as well as a 35.6-inch vertical leap at the Shrine Bowl combine earlier this year. Dalton chose the 'Hoos over an offer from Clemson and heavy interest from ECU and UNC.
