This Week In Recruiting By Chris Horne Basketball recruiting... Mike Scott turned in 25 points on 11-of-18 shooting in last Thursday's Capital Classic. It wasn't enough to spur Scott's U.S. All-Stars squad on to victory, though, as the Capital All-Stars won 149-145. The 6'8" Scott added five rebounds and two steals in the losing effort. He was named to the all-tournament team. Fellow UVa recruit Jeff Jones, who was recently named first-team AAAA all-state by the Pennsylvania AP, never found his rhythm for the U.S. team and finished with seven points on 3-of-9 shooting. For comments from UVa's recruits, check out last Friday's EDGE update on the Capital Classic. Jones and Scott discuss their futures at UVa and what to expect in their first year under head coach Dave Leitao. The update also includes new photos of the players.
TheSabre.com was in Hampton, Virginia, this past weekend for a few games from the Boo Williams Invitational. Boo Williams Summer League's 17-and-under squad captured the championship title Sunday, as top junior recruit Ed Davis scored the game-winning bucket with 2 seconds remaining for the win over Mean Streets of Chicago. Davis, who recently listed UVa and UConn as his two favorites, tallied 16 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in the winning effort. Look for updates on several UVa junior targets today, including guard Sylven Landesburg (Metro Hawks AAU) and guard Andre Jones (BWSL). UVa has yet to land a commitment for the 2008 recruiting class.
Stay tuned for another update on 6'8", 235-pound power forward Patrick Patterson. The 5-star senior out of Huntington (W.V.) still has not narrowed his list of schools from six to three and now may wait until May to make a commitment according to Sunday's report in the Huntington Herald-Dispatch. Patterson was on the winning USA squad in Saturday's Nike Hoops Summit. He will be part of the Jordan Classic later this month.
Football recruiting ... The spring game will take place this Saturday and junior recruits do plan to be in attendance. One recruit expected to attend is St. Anthony's (Long Island, N.Y.) defensive tackle Scott Vallone. The 6'2", 260-pound prospect visited UVa this past Friday for a spring practice and plans to return this Saturday. The Sabre EDGE will bring you comments from this past Friday's experience and a look ahead to what he expects out of the spring game. Smithfield (VA) WR Dyrell Roberts, Christchurch (VA) WR Deion Walker, and Norview (VA) DT Buddy Ruff are among other recruits expected in Charlottesville this Saturday.

News, Notes, and Fan Discussion | |||||
Blog Post of the Week A little debate out there in the blogosphere regarding who has the hotter seat: Groh or Clemson's Tommy Bowden. Deinhart says Tommy, Maloney says Groh. But, in the end, both think Groh should worry about getting fired. They're both wrong, and the mistake these guys are making is assuming that Clemson and Virginia have the same atmosphere surrounding their coaches. So comparing the two is like comparing apples with Micheal Vick's water bottles. Read the full post here! Stick Out Your School-Colored Tongue! OK so you're a huge Hoo fan and you want to rock the school colors. But you don't want to be like everyone else. You want a little attitude, a little bravado to go with your orange and blue.

Choose one of the hats or visors and root your Hoos! Check it out!

Issue No. 107 - October 3, 2003 Cavaliers win on Hughes' and Winborne's late-game heroics
As mentioned above, there were quite a few heroes on the day for the Hoos. Matt Schaub returned to action for the first time since the opening drive against Duke over a month ago. Schaub came out hot, completing 30 of his 45 pass attempts for 326 yards and two touchdowns. Schaub also showed some guts, breaking free from an apparent sack and diving into the end zone for a crucial two-point conversation to tie the game at the start of the fourth quarter. Virginia's defense should get some credit as well. While they did give up 47-yard touchdown pass to Wake in the third quarter, they dug down deep when the team needed it the most. When Virginia was coming back, Schaub threw two interceptions late in the game. Wake was unable to capitalize on either turnover. On a game-deciding 4th and 2 on UVa's 8-yard line, the Cavalier defense stopped Wake Forest to give Schaub a chance to move the team down the field for the tying score. And let's not forget Winborne's interception that put Virginia in field goal range to win the game, rather than going to overtime. This was a character-building win for the Hoos over an improving Wake Forest team. The win puts UVa at 2-0 in the conference and 3-1 overall, which puts them off to a better start than last year's 9-5 bowl-winning team (the 2002 team started 2-2).
