Imovbioh Commits To Women's Basketball The Virginia women's basketball team received good news over the weekend when Sarah Imovbioh, a junior at St. Anne's-Belfield in Charlottesville, gave a verbal commitment to the program. Imovbioh helped STAB reach the VISAA Division I Semifinals this season where the Saints fell 64-60. Imovbioh scored 53 points in the loss, making 22 of 26 field goals, to go with 21 rebounds, 5 steals, and 4 blocks. Imovbioh averaged 32.2 points, 20.0 rebounds, 4.9 blocked shots, 4.3 steals, and 1.1 assists per game this season. Imovbioh is the style of post player often needed in ACC play. An athletic 6'2" junior forward, she plays with a lot of energy and is noted for her work ethic beyond games as well. Imovbioh is a relentless rebounder and gets off the floor quickly; she shows solid touch around the rim and has worked to add a face-up jumper throughout her junior season as well.. Sabre Editor Kris Wright's take: As someone who coached against Imovbioh and the Saints this season, I know all too well how good of a player Imovbioh is. She poured in 34 points in her team's 5-point victory and added 19 rebounds as well (story here). We surrounded her with a zone to limit her touches but still couldn't take her out of the action because she remained so active on the floor. She also hit at least three face-up jumpers from 15+ feet in the game. A very nice pick-up for the Hoos, who need a rebounder and worker of this style.

This Week In Recruiting Football recruiting Menchville (Newport News, VA) athlete Clifton Richardson spent Saturday in Norfolk, watching Virginia football's scrimmage at Old Dominion University. The 6-1, 195-pound junior remains a soft commitment to the Cavaliers, but he came away pleased by the experience. "It was great," he said. "I like how the practice went. There were a lot of Virginia fans there, which I didn't really expect." Richardson wasn't allowed to converse with the coaches per NCAA rules, but he did spend some time with Virginia players after the event was over. He did notice "a lot of players recruited by Virginia" in the stands as well. For more from Richardson, check out the EDGE later this week. Also this week, I hope to catch up with some of the high school coaches in attendance for Saturday's scrimmage. I want to discuss the potential impact, recruiting-wise, of the event and what it could mean as far as potential Virginia success in the Tidewater area. I also hope to track down more recruits in attendance.
Basketball recruiting I was in Cary, North Carolina, Saturday for Dave Telep's Carolina Challenge, an event that features the Top 80 high school basketball players in the Tar Heel state. I'll have reports on Virginia targets throughout the week, including 2011 and 2012 class recruits. Guard Demarcus Harrison (UVa offer), forward Bernard Sullivan (UVa offer), and wing forward Aaron Roundtree will be featured from the 2011 class, while forward Montrezl Harrell and point guard Tyler Lewis will be featured from the 2012 class. Harrell, a 6-7 sophomore, has been offered by Virginia and South Carolina and visited Virginia earlier this year. I'll also have more with Virginia 2010 class signee K.T. Harrell this week. After a big-time senior season, the 6-4 senior was a finalist for Mr. Basketball in the state of Alabama. He fell short of attaining that goal, but he did earn Gatorade Player of the Year recognition in Alabama. Fellow Virginia recruit Will Regan had 21 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks in Nichols' (Buffalo, N.Y.) Federation Cup Class A Championship win over Jamesville-Dewitt. The 6-8, 220-pound forward earned tournament MVP honors, capping off a big-time high school basketball career. As a senior, he helped Nichols to three championship titles including league, Catholic division and state.

Blog Banter: FB Recruiting Notes - Latest On Moses I caught up with Fork Union Military Academy Postgraduate head coach John Shuman today. Shuman, fresh off of FUMA's Spring Break, says 6-7, 340-pound Morgan Moses continues to work towards qualifying. "He took the latest SAT last Saturday. He is scheduled to take the ACT on April 10," Shuman said. Moses will finish up a course at Fork Union in early April. He will then take one more course. Shuman is hoping for top grades in those two courses, as two top grades would help Moses in his attempt to qualify. "He is doing real good in the classroom, so we feel he is moving forward," Shuman said. Moses will take all standardized tests. "He is anxious to get over to UVa on April 10 after the SAT," Shuman said. "I told him to get this done, get the points, and he'll be over there all year next year."

Issue No. 337 - April 14, 2008
This Week In Recruiting Football recruiting The University of Virginia enjoyed a successful Spring Game on Saturday, scoring its fifth commitment in the 2009 class in Liberty (Bealeton, VA) safety Corey Lillard. Lillard, a 5-11, 208-pound prospect, chose Virginia over offers from Arkansas, Boston College, Duke, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Rutgers, and West Virginia. All five of Virginia's 2009 commits hail from the state of Virginia. Lillard is the only prospect designated for defense, as he is a hard-hitting safety who tallied 67 tackles, including 52 solo efforts, last season as a junior for head coach Tommy Buzzo. "He is a very physical kid," Buzzo told TheSabre.com in an earlier interview. "He has the gift of knowing how to hit. Everybody he is in contact with goes backwards."
