Wilt Joins Staff; Indiana Joins Schedule UVa Athletics Media Relations issued a release on Friday that Chad Wilt has been named the football team's defensive line coach. Wilt returns to UVa after working as a graduate assistant coach in 2004 and 2005. Wilt comes back to Virginia after three seasons at Liberty University where he coached the defensive line and special teams under Danny Rocco, a former Cavalier assistant. "Chad has a solid background in our philosophy and schemes having spent two seasons with us and three with Dan Rocco," Virginia coach Al Groh said in the news release. "He knows us very well, and we know Chad and look forward to the energy and style that he will bring to our program. Our players will appreciate his commitment and expertise." "It is an honor and privilege for me to join the Virginia program and coach Groh's staff," Wilt said in the release. "I have a great deal of respect for what he has done. Being able to learn and coach under him will be an invaluable experience for me. I'm looking forward to helping push this team toward a championship. The University of Virginia is very special to me since I received my master's degree from there. I have been a part of this football program in the past and I respect and believe in it. I will bring a lot of energy and intensity to my position and I will expect the same out of my players." In other football news, The Daily Progress reported Monday morning that the final non-conference opponent for the 2009 season will be Indiana. The Hoosiers are expected to travel to Scott Stadium for the game.

This Week In Recruiting Signing Day 2009 has come and gone and the Virginia Cavaliers ended up signing 25 prospects, highlighted by the Signing Day decision of 6-7, 340-pound Morgan Moses. The Meadowbrook (Richmond, VA), TheSabre.com's No. 4 in-state senior and U.S. Army All-American, instantly became UVa's most highly rated recruit and headlines a talented and deep group at offensive line. Virginia's class includes impressive prospects on both the offensive and defensive lines. The Cavaliers signed six offensive line prospects including Moses, Oday Aboushi (Xaverian H.S. in Brooklyn, N.Y.), Luke Bowanko (Centreville in Clifton, VA), Sean Cascarano (Glenbrook South in Glenview, IL), Hunter Steward (Kellam in Virginia Beach, VA) and Cody Wallace (Moorestown, N.J.). Will Hill, Justin Renfrow, Jake Snyder and Brent Urban are the four defensive end recruits, and don't be surprised to see at least one of these players on the field next season. Hill, a 6-4, 260-pound prospect out of Lafayette (Williamsburg, VA), enrolled last month and will be part of spring practice. "Among the defensive ends coming in, at which there's a pretty good group, this will give him a little bit of a head start," Groh said on Signing Day of Hill's early enrollment. Check out the EDGE later today for more analysis on a class UVa head coach Al Groh called "probably one of our most solid groups." Included in the analysis will be insight into how UVa fared in terms of filling needs and a look ahead to the focuses of next year's class. Later this week, we'll take a look at next year's in-state class and some of the talented players in it. As we dive into 2010 football recruiting coverage, we'll also focus on 2010 class basketball recruiting. Stay tuned for more on both fronts in the coming weeks.

Blog Banter: Littlepage's email - the why on the when By Rob Mahini, The Good Ol' Blog The University of Virginia's athletic director sent out an odd little email on Signing Day to the fan base. (The full text is extended entry, in case you haven't seen it.) It was so odd, that Dan Steinberg actually posted something about Virginia athletics after receiving it, which is sort of like Bill Simmons writing an article talking about sports teams outside of Boston. Of course, Dan couldn't be bothered to spend more than a couple seconds of cutting and pasting, but I guess he strained himself trying to write something about college athletics. Anyway, it was an odd little email. Didn't say much - mostly "thanks and sorry and we'll do better, I promise." But why on National Signing Day? A reader wondered the same thing:
Signing day should be a day of optimism and excitement, not a day for a mass apology from a barely visible AD. And calling for improvement in Men's Basketball in the middle of the season? You're just undercutting your coach when he needs your support. Just a horrible, horrible idea. Yeah, it struck me as odd, at the very least. I was confused: Why on that day of all days? Couldn't they wait a few days to give the football program a moment in the sun? The message board were actually excited for once. So why send out a pessimistic sounding email on one of the Athletic Department's most optimistic days? And then I went out to my mailbox and saw the answer: a VAF envelope staring back at me. ...

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 232 - March 10, 2006
This Week In Recruiting Roman Catholic (Philadelphia, Pa.) defensive back Dom Joseph verbally committed to UVa last Friday, becoming the second player to commit to the Hoos in the 2007 recruiting class. Joseph is a 6-0, 190-pound prospect who has played safety his sophomore and junior seasons. As a junior, he tallied a total of six interceptions on the year including two in one game. Joseph, who had interest from other schools such as Boston College, Iowa and Pitt, is being recruited by Virginia as a cornerback, which is the position he wanted to play coming into high school. Joseph excels in baseball as well and hopes to play both football and baseball at Virginia. He plays centerfield for the Roman Catholic varsity squad. Joseph is not only the second player to commit overall, but he is the second player projected on the defensive side of the ball. UVa's first commitment was from Woodside (Newport News, Va.) inside linebacker prospect Jared Detrick. Detrick is a 6-2, 230-pound player with good athleticism.
