Two Assistants Leave Women's Basketball Program From UVa Athletics Media Relations' Official Releases Jeff House and Curtis Loyd are leaving their positions as assistant coaches on the Virginia women's basketball staff. Head coach Debbie Ryan made the announcements over the weekend. Loyd resigned to pursue other opportunities. Loyd has been a Virginia assistant for the last five years. He joined the UVa staff after six seasons as an assistant coach at Arizona. "Curtis Loyd has helped us get to where we are today," Ryan said. "We are particularly thankful to him for his contributions in player development and strategies on the floor. We will miss him and wish him well for the future." "I'd like to thank the University of Virginia, Debbie Ryan and the athletics administration for giving me the opportunity to work for such a prestigious program," Loyd said. "I have enjoyed my time here at the University and will greatly miss all of the things that make this program and University so unique. I'd especially like to thank the players, past and present, for their hard work and efforts. I wish them well in everything that they do both on and off the court." House has been a Virginia assistant for the last four years. He joined the UVa staff after eight seasons in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). House was an assistant coach for one season with the Washington Mystics and spent seven seasons as a member of the New York Liberty staff. "Jeff House has made significant contributions to our program, especially in the areas of recruiting and basketball strategy," Ryan said. "We are in a better place because of his tenure here and we will miss him." "I am grateful for the wonderful opportunity afforded to me by the University's athletic department, and particularly by Debbie Ryan, Craig Littlepage and Jane Miller," House said. "Unfortunately, however, the time has come for me to move forward. A family emergency this past year presented difficult challenges. I leave at a time the program is in good condition, and I am extremely proud of its accomplishments during my tenure - returning to the NCAA Tournament with consecutive second round appearances and assembling the nation's third-ranked recruiting class will help continue the great legacy of this program. I will cherish fond memories of my time on Grounds, and will miss my colleagues, the student-athletes and their families, all of whom have played such a large role in my life and the lives of my family. I would also like to express my deep gratitude to Debbie Ryan, who has taught me so much about the world of women's college basketball."

This Week In Recruiting Spring practice is finished and the evaluation period is in high gear so this week we'll take a look at Virginia's overall needs for the 2010 football recruiting class. Al Groh and company currently have one commitment, 5-7, 190-pound West Rowan (Mount Ulla, NC) running back Kevin Parks, and we'll check in on him as well. Virginia likely would take another running back in this class, but we'll take a look at other needs the staff will try to fill before the February Signing Day rolls around. As a junior last season, Parks rushed for 2,864 yards and 43 touchdowns in helping West Rowan to a Class 3-A State Championship. Making an early college decision enabled Parks to focus more on preparing for his senior season and helping his team reach another state title game. Today, check out the EDGE for the latest on Good Counsel (Wheaton, MD) cornerback Louis Young. Young, a 6-0, 195-pound rising senior, committed early to Stanford but re-opened his recruitment. Virginia is one of about a dozen schools Young would like to visit before making a commitment, something he would like to do before the start of his senior season. Virginia continues to court Good Counsel wide receiver E.J. Scott, who is considering offers from six other Division 1A programs as well. UVa is thought to be in good shape with Scott, who also would like to make a commitment before the start of his senior season. Also this week, we'll check back in with Green Run (Virginia Beach, VA) defensive end/outside linebacker Jamal Wallace. Wallace, a 6-3, 210-pound prospect, attended the Nike Camp in Charlottesville last Sunday. He and his mother enjoyed what they saw and hoped to return soon. We'll check back in with Green Run head coach Shawn Wilson for the latest on his standout prospect, who already boasts an offer from Duke.
Basketball recruiting ... TheSabre.com spoke with 2011 big man John Manning over the weekend so stay tuned for an EDGE article this week. The 6-11 center out of Chantilly High School (VA) averaged 13 points, 10 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game this past season. The rising junior standout is playing this summer with the Boo Williams AAU squad. Manning, whose parents both attended UVa, says he has not received any offers to this point but is drawing ACC interest. Manning's AAU teammate, 6-5 rising senior guard Brian Richardson, was recently contacted by coach Tony Bennett and company. We hope to get back in touch with the Greenfield School (Wilson, N.C.) standout this week for the latest on his standing with the Cavaliers.

Issue No. 156 - Sept. 17, 2004
Bart is also a helluva guy. This week Virginia's junior left guard was named to the 2004 American Football Coaches Association's Good Works Team. He was the only ACC player selected to the 11-man squad, chosen for their charitable contributions and service to the community. Among the Cavaliers, Barthelmes stood out last year for his outgoing, upbeat personality and his long hair, which hung to his shoulders. No longer. In April he had his first haircut in 18 months and donated 10 inches of his once-shaggy mane to Locks of Love, a non-profit organization that gives wigs to children who have suffered long-term hair loss because of illness. That's not all. Barthelmes also visits the UVa Children's Medical Center twice a month. It isn't required. He says he enjoys it. He also participated in the Little Siblings Program, similar to Big Brothers/Big Sisters, for a semester before his assigned sibling moved away. Back home in Ohio, he has been active in local organizations such as the Cleveland City Mission Outreach, Youth with a Mission Outreach and Youth for Christ Leadership. Athletic ability was not a criterion for selection to the Good Works team, though Barthelmes has been part of a dominant offensive line for the Cavaliers. Neither was behavior on the field, which is probably a good thing. Because tomorrow when Virginia plays overmatched Akron, a team from his home state, don't expect Barthelmes to be feeling too charitable.
