Do You Miss Coach Welsh? Don't! Virginia fans will never forget legendary coach George Welsh. A three-time national Coach of the Year, Welsh finished his 19-year career at Virginia in 2000 as the all-time winningest coach in school and ACC history. He is a 2004 inductee in the College Football Hall of Fame. UVa fans don't have to spend Saturdays without him though! Coach Welsh is back for year two of his Game Day Chalk Talks at Alumni Hall!
Learn from a Legend Every day before home football games, 1.5 hours before kickoff, Cavalier fans can spend time with former UVa head coach George Welsh as he breaks down the weekend's opponent and talks football strategy. Come by Alumni Hall at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 8 for the Duke event. The event is open to the public and is sponsored by the University of Virginia Alumni Association and TheSabre.com.
Chalk Talks with George Welsh are the perfect way to spend Game Day. Coach Welsh breaks down the opponent and talks football like the Hall of Famer he is. Plus, there are plenty of other activities at Alumni Hall. Other activities include a pregame brunch , the "More than the Score" lecture series, and a 5th Quarter Tailgate at Alumni Hall.

This Week In Recruiting Basketball recruiting ... Sylven Landesberg, a 6-5 guard out of Holy Cross High School (Queens, N.Y.), has been in Charlottesville throughout the weekend and is expected to leave today. Landesberg, who averaged 27 points per game last season as a junior, is rated a 5-star prospect by Scout.com and a 4-star recruit by Rivals.com. He is one of Virginia's top targets in this 2008 recruiting class. Besides UVa, Landesberg is also considering Georgia Tech, Kentucky, St. John's, and Texas. He has scheduled an official visit to Georgia Tech for the weekend of Sept. 15 and could make visits to the other programs as well. Prior to the UVa visit, sources indicated that Georgia Tech and UVa may have been the teams to beat. Stay tuned, as we will try and reach Sylven today for comments on his trip to Virginia.
Dave Leitao and company will host another one of its top targets this weekend. 6-11, 235-pound center John Brandenburg will be making his official visit to the University of Virginia. He is expected to arrive on Friday, Sept. 7, and will leave on Sunday. Brandenburg, a 4-star recruit that hails from St. Louis, Missouri, has narrowed his list to Stanford and Virginia. The De Smet Jesuit product visited Stanford last month and had a great time, so the Cavs certainly have their work cut out this weekend. Brandenburg is not expected to take long to make a commitment to one of the two schools. He could decide within a week after his trip to Virginia, so obviously this weekend is very crucial for the Hoos. Both Landesberg and Brandenburg attended the NBPA Top 100 Camp in Charlottesville this past June.
September will be a hot month for UVa on the basketball recruiting front. In addition to Brandenburg and Landesberg, the staff is expected to host top St. George (Memphis, TN) guard Elliot Williams and talented Hun School (Princeton, N.J.) forward Lance Goulbourne on the weekend of Sept. 22. Virginia may also be trying to get 6-10, 230-pound Bishop O'Connell (Arlington, VA) center Frank Ben-Eze in for a visit. The 6-4 Williams and the 6-7 Goulbourne have been offered by Virginia, while Ben-Eze has not yet received an official offer. Stay tuned for more on the basketball recruiting front this week and throughout the month.
Football recruiting ... Virginia missed out on Highland Springs (VA) defensive lineman Antoine Hopkins, who committed to Virginia Tech on Saturday. The 6-2, 265-pound prospect had considered offers from Syracuse and Virginia before choosing the Hokies. Stay tuned, as we will follow up on any potential visitors for this weekend's game versus Duke. Virginia's big weekend this month looks to be the 22nd, as the Cavs are expected to host Gateway (Monroeville, PA) WR/RB/KR Cameron Saddler, Gateway LB Shayne Hale, and possibly St. Xavier (OH) RB Darius Ashley.
Game ball ... Of Virginia's commitments, Northeast (Macon, GA) WR Javaris Brown seems to have turned in the top performance from this past weekend. The 5-11, 180-pound speedster hauled in touchdown passes of 32 and 11 yards, respectively, helping his team capture a 33-22 win over Dougherty on Friday night. Northeast is 1-0 on the season.
