This Week In Recruiting New commitment ... Western Branch (Chesapeake, VA) standout Javanti Sparrow said he might commit to Virginia if his official visit went well. The visit certainly went well enough, as the 6-1, 185-pound wide receiver/defensive back recruit verbally committed to Cavaliers head coach Al Groh on Sunday. A wide receiver/safety/returner for Western Branch, Sparrow will likely play wide receiver for the Cavaliers. There is the possibility that he ends up as a defensive back and he could potentially play cornerback or safety. For more on Sparrow's commitment, be sure to check out the EDGE article posted Sunday. Sparrow is the 20th high school senior to commit to Virginia. He is the fourth prospect from the talent-rich Tidewater region, joining Phoebus safety/outside linebacker LoVante Battle, Oscar Smith defensive back Perry Jones, and Maury athlete Laroy Reynolds. UVa is very much in contention with another top Tidewater prospect in Oscar Smith wide receiver Tim Smith, who will make an important official visit to Louisville this coming weekend. He has taken officials to West Virginia and Virginia already. Virginia continues its in-state success ... After receiving much criticism for only signing four in-state prospects in the 2008 class, Al Groh and company have come on strong in 2009 with 12 commitments hailing from the state of Virginia. Ten of UVa's commits are ranked in TheSabre.com's Preseason Top 40. Here is the current breakdown by position of in-state commitments ...
QB - Ross Metheny, Sherando (Stephens City) This week, stay tuned for more from several other state of Virginia prospects. Later today, we will post a profile on Brooke Point (Stafford) defensive end Lanford Collins, who is a top target of Virginia's as well as many others. The 6-5, 240-pound recruit is being recruited by the Cavs as an outside linebacker. We'll also check in again with Brookville offensive lineman Devin Bolling, who is said to have been in Charlottesville on Saturday. Is there anything new with his standing with the Cavaliers?

Basketball Practice Starts This Week The NCAA set the first day of practice for 2008 as Friday, Oct. 17. That's this week! The Cavaliers got a mini-introduction to the 2008 season in late August when they were allowed to practice in preparation for a three-game trip to Canada. UVa was allowed to hold 10 practices before leaving on the trip and the Cavaliers began preparations on Aug. 19. The Cavaliers' three freshman had to wait until classes began at Virginia on Aug. 26 to join practice. UVa won two of three contests in Canada.

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 158 - Oct. 1, 2004 Cavaliers pass tough test vs. Syracuse Virginia's first three football opponents didn't provide much of a challenge. They were too small, too slow -- and the Cavaliers were just too good.
For the first time this season, the 'Hoos were unable to dominate the line of scrimmage, but they flaunted much more big-play capability in producing a 31-10 victory at Scott Stadium. Syracuse had no run or pass of longer than 18 yards, while Virginia made four plays that covered 39 yards or more. Junior quarterback Marques Hagans had a hand in all of those plays. He completed passes of 47 and 39 yards to Michael McGrew and a 54-yarder to Heath Miller. He also had a 59-yard scoring run in a near-flawless performance. He ended up 11 of 12 for 202 yards and a TD. He also rushed for a team-high 81 yards and two touchdowns. The defense allowed several long drives but only relinquished one TD and one field goal in a solid performance. Canty's injury in the fourth quarter was the lowlight of the game.
