Basketball Is Back! The Virginia men's basketball team wrapped up its preseason work Sunday with a dominating 124-65 exhibition win against Carson-Newman (read about it here). That means the season tips off in less than a week as UVa hosts Vermont on Sunday at 2 p.m. Everyone knows Sean Singletary is returning and that obviously should help the Cavaliers' chances for the 2007-08 campaign. But what else do you need to know about the Hoos? Don't worry, The Sabre will fill you in on everything you need to know this week with a ton of basketball preview content. Planned articles include 10 Questions Facing The Hoos (2 parter), Schedule Analysis (what is the best formula for the Hoos to make the NCAA again?), a freshman to watch column, Chalktalk (a key offensive sequence to watch), and more. Make sure you have your EDGE subscription ready to go (Sabre Edge Sign Up and Information Page) before the season starts because there is no better place to closely follow Cavalier basketball. |

This Week In Recruiting Football recruiting ... Virginia enjoyed a good recruit turnout for Saturday's thrilling win over Wake Forest. Included among the group were Gateway (Monroeville, PA) star seniors Shayne Hale and Cameron Saddler, who were making their official visits. Saddler, a 5-7, 155-pound, WR/RB/KR/PR dynamo, discussed his experience last night. Check out the full EDGE article below. We will also catch up with the 6-3, 220-pound Hale for thoughts on his experience. Virginia is in the top four for both prospects so this weekend's experience was a big one for both parties. Here are some of the other prospects in town on Saturday ...
Stay tuned this week for updates on the above mentioned prospects and much more from this past weekend.
Basketball recruiting ... 5-star guard Elliot Williams didn't wait until a scheduled Nov. 2 press conference to announce his college decision, verbally committing to Duke last Wednesday. The 6-4 senior chose the Blue Devils over Memphis, Tennessee, and Virginia. Despite missing out on one of the top overall recruits in the country, Virginia has to be happy with its 2008 recruiting class. Holy Cross (Flushing, N.Y.) guard Sylven Landesberg and DeSmet Jesuit (St. Louis, MO) center John Brandenburg are rated 4-star prospects by Rivals.com and Scout.com, while South Kent (CT) center Assane Sene is a promising prospect who chose Virginia over offers from U-Conn and Syracuse. Virginia has added much needed size in this class, as Brandenburg stands 6-11, 235 pounds, and Sene is 7-0, 230 pounds. Landesberg, who stands 6-6, is a big, smooth backcourt prospect who can score. While Landesberg is not a true point guard, he can play the point position. All three players are expected to sign letters of intent next Wednesday, Nov. 14, which marks the beginning of the early signing period. Virginia was expected to only take three recruits in this class, but, if there is an exceptional prospect that really impresses this spring and wants to come aboard, a fourth isn't out of the question. Stay tuned later this month for further analysis on Virginia's 2008 recruiting class, including an in-depth look from some of the country's top basketball recruiting analysts.
Game balls ... Stratford (CT) rebounded from last week's loss - its first of the season - to capture a 48-7 win over Weston. The team was led by Virginia-bound running back Torrey Mack, who totaled four touchdowns in the win. Mack, a 6-0, 190-pound senior, started off the scoring with a 57-yard punt return for a touchdown. He would add three touchdowns on the ground, including a 98-yarder in the second quarter. Stratford is now 7-1 on the season. Northeast (Macon, GA) wide receiver Javaris Brown hauled in touchdown receptions of 36 and 9 yards, respectively, in a 39-35 loss. Northeast is now 6-3 on the season.

Issue No. 272 - December 18, 2006 Football recruiting Last Thursday, UVa was the choice for 6'2.5", 185-pound wide receiver recruit Dontrelle Inman. Inman, who announced his decision to attend UVa during a press conference at his high school, chose the Hoos over Georgia Tech and other offers including Auburn, Kentucky, and South Carolina. The Batesburg-Leesville (S.C.) star is the 19th high school senior to commit to UVa for the 2007 recruiting class. Virginia now has 22 commitments in total, including three players - OL Billy Cuffee, DB Ras-I Dowling and LB Almondo Sewell - who signed with the Cavs last February. All three players are currently at Hargrave Military Academy. Inman is the third commitment projected to play wide receiver for the Hoos. As a junior in 2005, he hauled in 31 receptions. As a senior in 2006, he tallied 18 receptions in five games, missing the remainder of the season due to a knee injury. Inman is a long player with good overall athleticism. He doesn't have blazing speed, but can make the big play. Stay tuned this week, as we follow up with Dontrelle for more on his decision and a look back at how he ended up choosing UVa.
