Help Support Philip Brown Wahoo fans and friends of Philip Brown, As many of you know, Philip was battling testicular cancer last year and had to undergo a series of tests, surgery and chemo to save his life. Well, papagator recently reported that Philip's cancer has returned, this time to other parts of his body. Again, Philip will have to fight to save his life by undergoing more surgery and chemotherapy. There are two ways you can help Philip and his family, both you can apply by clicking the link below. First, you can post your prayers, well wishes or other comments to him in the guestbook. I will make sure that Philip and his family have the link to see your thoughts. Second, you can make a donation to help cover the enormous costs associated with his ordeal. Thanks,
Mike Ingalls

This Week In Recruiting The big news of the weekend is on the men's basketball front; 5-star center/power forward Renardo Sidney is making an unofficial visit to the University of Virginia. The 6-10, 250-pound Fairfax (Los Angeles, CA) star, a senior, reportedly may sign in basketball's early signing period and Virginia is hoping to be the choice. One of the top prospect's in the 2009 recruiting class, Sidney is a player who is not expected to stay long at whatever destination he chooses, but he would be a big-time get for the Cavaliers. In fact, he would be one of Virginia's basketball's most highly rated commitments ever. UCLA and many other programs have also offered Sidney, but UVa's biggest competition may be USC according to sources. Reportedly, Sidney is also considering a year in Europe before heading to the NBA. TheSabre.com will be sure to monitor Sidney's situation, and if anything breaks we'll be sure to follow up on it. Unless Sidney comes aboard, the Cavaliers will only sign two players in this early signing period. Word of Life (Springfield, VA) star Tristan Spurlock, a 6-8, 220-pound forward, and Bethel (Hampton, VA) point guard Jontel Evans, each of whom was expected to be in Charlottesville on Sunday, are expected to sign this month. The early signing period for the 2009 class began on Nov. 12 and ends on Nov. 19 (this Wednesday). In case you missed it, check out the latest on several of Virginia's 2010 class targets on the EDGE. Last week, we produced articles on John Marshall/Community School (Richmond, VA) forward Travis McKie and Greenfield School (Wilson, N.C.) guard Brian Richardson. The 6-6 McKie is considering offers from Clemson, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest, among others. He also has interest from Florida and North Carolina. Richardson, a 6-5, 155-pound prospect, is an under-the-radar guard who can play the point guard and shooting guard spots. George Washington, UNC-Wilmington, Richmond and Virginia are among the early offers for Richardson.
Football recruiting ... UVa has tried to score talent from talent-rich St. Xavier (Cincinnati, OH) over the past several years but has come up unsuccessful. This weekend, the Cavaliers will host two more St. Xavier seniors as linebacker Luke Kuechly and defensive end Pat Muldoon will be in Charlottesville on official visits. Kuechly, a versatile and athletic prospect who played safety this past season, is also considering Boston College, Duke and Stanford. He has taken an official visit to Boston College and has visits scheduled to Duke and Stanford. Muldoon, one of Virginia's top targets at the defensive end position, is considering Boston College, Cincinnati, Duke and Wisconsin in addition to the Cavaliers. Stay tuned for more with Kuechly and we'll be sure to follow up with both following their official visits. Camden (N.J.) wide receiver Tyree Watkins, a current Virginia commitment, is also planning to make his official visit this weekend. We'll be sure to follow up with the 6-2, 180-pound prospect, who is one of Virginia's most highly rated recruits in the 2009 class. We'll also try to track down other potential visitors. Watkins, who committed to Virginia in June, had wavered some on his decision but recently has seemed more solid. He will make a final decision on if he will take more visits after this weekend's trip.
