Blog Banter: Will GT Win In C'Ville? A guest blogger on Mark Bradley's Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote a short post on why the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will win in Charlottesville this year. Matthew Harrison is a Virginia resident after moving here from Atlanta. Click here to read the whole post but here's a short glimpse:
Setting aside the fact that The Sabre is projecting Vic Hall as the starting quarterback (at least for the opener) and not Jameel Sewell, the guest blogger touches on a topic we're all talking about. Namely, "What will UVa's new offense look like and will it work well enough to win games?" The optimists out there generally fall in the "anything is an improvement" category with the attached caveat that any improvement will lead to more wins. Others believe it may take more than a year for the offense to truly find its way, which could mean a frustrating year overall. Closed practices and nothing but base plays in the Spring Game did little to reveal what the offense will truly look like so really it's a mystery. But Georgia Tech's success last season switching to a new option style offense with Paul Johnson went more smoothly than expected. Most outsiders thought it would take much longer for the Yellow Jackets to get things in place and win a lot of games, but they rattled off 9 wins (including a 45-42 victory over rival Georgia). So can Virginia whip up a similar success story? If so, it's hard to imagine GT coming into Charlottesville and winning in late October. Especially when you consider that Al Groh has lost just twice to Georgia Tech as Virginia's head coach. So what do you think? Will the Jackets snap their losing streak in Charlottesville? Share your opinion on The Sabre message boards! Read more from The Good Ol' Blog here.

Issue No. 127 - February 27, 2004
This Week In Recruiting In basketball recruiting news, the terrific high school career of Penn Charter (Philadelphia, PA) point guard Sean Singletary ended on a great note last Sunday. Singletary, who has signed with UVa, led his team to an 86-75 victory over Germantown Academy in the Inter-Academic League championship game. "It feels great, but it's sad at the same time," Singletary told the Philadelphia Inquirer following the win. "I hate to say goodbye to my teammates. It was a selfless group." In the contest, Singletary had 26 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals. He was named Inter-Academy MVP. On the season, he averaged 22.9 points per contest. Singletary is rated as one of the top point guards in the 2003-2004 recruiting class. He is rated a four-star prospect by Insiders.com as well as Rivals.com. Earlier this week, Brewster Academy defeated Bridgton Academy 82-74. 6-7, 200 pound small forward Adrian Joseph, who has also signed with UVa, finished with 18 points in the winning effort. One final regular season game remains for Brewster (19-5) when they Northfield Mount Hermon School on February 28th. They then head to the NEPSAC Class A playoffs. Expect an update on Tunji Soroye very soon as well. The 6-11, 210 pound Montrose Christian Academy (MD) center has turned in a solid season for Coach Stu Vetter. He has verbally committed to UVa. In football recruiting news, UVa received their third verbal commitment for the 2005 recruiting class this week, when Broad Run (Ashburn, VA) tight end/defensive end Alex Field committed to the 'Hoos. Field, a 6-6, 248 pound prospect, earned Dulles district Player of the Year honors last year as well as first-team all-district tight end. Though he plays tight end and defensive end in high school, he has the potential to grow into an offensive tackle. Field chose UVa over interest from Maryland and Marshall, among others.
