Wright Near All-Time Scoring Mark The Virginia women's basketball team hosts Maryland on Monday night for a 7:30 p.m. ACC showdown. Hoo fans should journey over to the John Paul Jones Arena or tune in on ESPN2 to see the contest because senior guard Monica Wright is on the cusp of history. Wright needs just 16 points against the Terps to take over the No. 1 career scoring spot for the Cavalier program. She is set to surpass Wahoo legend Dawn Staley in that category; Staley logged 2,135 points in her career. Jay Jenkins over at The Daily Progress profiled Wright's pursuit of the record in Monday's paper. Check it out. VirginiaSports.com also has a preview article for the game with Maryland, which includes some information on Wright's run to the record. Here's an excerpt:
Good luck to Wright and the Cavaliers in the game with the Terps! |

This Week In Recruiting Virginia guard recruit K.T. Harrell scored at least 40 points in a game for the third time this season, helping Brewbaker Magnet (Montgomery, AL) defeat Montgomery Academy 76-66. The 6-4, 205-pound senior called the game against Montgomery "one of the toughest challenges" of the season. "Our team is doing really well," Harrell said. "We're 10-3. We're definitely playing like we pretty much expected. We have a lot of talent on our team and we've played together." Harrell continues to establish himself as one of the top senior backcourt prospects in the country. Stay tuned for more from him later this week, when we post an EDGE update on one of UVa's top recruits in the 2010 class.
On the football recruiting front ... Star 2009 offensive lineman signee Morgan Moses has yet to qualify and therefore will not enroll anywhere this month, PalmettoSports.com reported last week. The 6-7, 340-pound prospect signed with UVa in February of 2009 but failed to qualify and enrolled at Fork Union. We hope to have more on his status later this week. Check out a feature profile on Hermitage (Richmond, VA) linebacker Curtis Grant on Monday. Grant, one of the top overall prospects in the state's 2011 class, has been offered by Mike London. He discusses London's impact and looks ahead to his recruitment. New assistant coach Chip West notified Ocean Lakes (Virginia Beach, VA) head coach Chris Scott that UVa was extending a scholarship offer to junior quarterback Lafonte Thourogood. The 6-2, 215-pound prospect has also received offers from East Carolina, North Carolina, N.C. State, Stanford, Tennessee, Virginia Tech and West Virginia. One of the state's top athletes in the 2011 class, Thourogood is being pursued by all programs as a quarterback but has the athleticism to play other spots if necessary. Other top Ocean Lakes juniors include offensive linemen Josh Mann and Chaz Lowery and cornerback Reginald Owens. We'll have more from Ocean Lakes later this week, and we'll also check in with Dinwiddie (VA) defensive lineman Corey Marshall. The 6-2, 260-pound junior prospect has been offered by Mike London and discusses what impact, if any, London has on his decision.

News, Notes, and Fan Discussion | |||||
London Names Reid DC, Associate Head Coach UVa Athletics Media Relations, Official Release Virginia head football coach Mike London announced Jim Reid has joined the Cavalier football coaching staff. He becomes the sixth member of London's staff and will serve as the defensive coordinator and associate head coach. "I am very pleased to announce that Jim Reid will be the defensive coordinator here at Virginia," said London. "He is a former head coach and is a well respected person throughout the state of Virginia. Coach Reid brings passion and energy to the program, and is an excellent 'people person' guy. I feel confident our defensive players will come to love and respect him. "In addition to his defensive coordinator position, Jim Reid will also serve as the associate head coach. My relationship with Coach Reid goes back to my early coaching career and I am excited about what he will bring to the entire organization." London served as the recruiting coordinator and outside linebackers coach at Richmond during Reid's first two seasons as the Spiders head coach (1995-96). "The first attraction to any job is who you work for," Reid said. "Coach London and I go back to when I first worked at Richmond. He was on my staff and did an unbelievable job of organization and of coaching the players and showing interest in their academics and did a marvelous job in recruiting with his high energy and his personality. "I've been around the University of Virginia for a long time and I have an idea of what the University is about," said Reid. "Recruiting in-state, you see the type of special player that comes here for the great football experience and the great education Virginia offers. As a life-long football coach I believe in the principles and ideals of football. The University of Virginia stands out among the very best schools in the country at what football is meant to be. This is a challenge I wanted to accept. I am absolutely privileged to be a part of this staff." Read the full news release here.
Blog Banter: Shawn Moore Joining UVa Staff Multiple outlets are reporting and The Sabre has confirmed that Shawn Moore, former star quarterback at Virginia, is joining Mike London's football staff at UVa. Moore, of course, led one of the nation's top offensive attacks during his career and helped take the Cavaliers to the No. 1 ranking in the polls. After finishing at Virginia, he played in the NFL for the Broncos. Most recently, he's worked at St. Albans as a dean. Moore, who is expected to coach either the quarterbacks or receivers pending further hires, had been a point of discussion on the EDGE (sub. required) this past week as murmurs begin to surface about him joining the Hoos as an assistant coach. Mikeysurf, one of The Sabre's long-time posters and respected voices, summed up why it would be a good move for the Cavaliers. Here's part of Mikeysurf's post:
I'm very cautious when it comes to taking risks with coaching hires. However, Shawn Moore is UVa football royalty - led our program to its only 10-win season, our first league title, only No. 1 ranking, only major bowl game, the highest Heisman Trophy finish of a UVa player in the last 50 years, etc. Whatever brand UVa football produced during its most successful period, Moore played the biggest role of any player. Moore has joined the Sabre in the past as a guest for an "Ask The Experts" series. EDGE subscribers should check it out from the archives at this link! The Sabre also caught up with Moore this fall for a "Catching Up With ..." feature. Read more posts on The Good Ol' Blog.

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 78 - March 14, 2003 Hoos upset Maryland for second time this season Virginia was on a slide of unimaginable proportions, losing seven straight, but pulled out of it when they defeated Maryland at home last Sunday in overtime, 80-78. The win gives UVa a winning regular season record and keeps their hopes alive for a berth in the upcoming NIT. Seldom-used senior center Jason Rogers got his first start of his career and had everyone scratching their heads why he didn't get much playing time during his Virginia career. Rogers busted out of the gate early, blocking several shots, changing the direction of many others, snagging rebounds and contributing some points in the paint as well. While the Cavaliers struggled on offense and turned the ball over 21 times, Rogers' presence inside kept Maryland from getting into their offense. The defending national champion Terps shot a poor 38 percent from the field. The Hoos can secure a place in this year's NIT if they can win against Duke tonight in the quarterfinal round of the ACC Tournament. UVa has never won a postseason game under Coach Pete Gillen, so a win tonight would be a positive step for this club. Virginia will play Duke at 9:00 PM tonight. The game will be televised by the Jefferson-Raycom Sports Network. In Charlottesville, the game is scheduled to be shown on ESPN2, WDCA, WVIR and WTVR.
