Each episode will deliver an in-depth look at the building of the football program under first-year head coach Mike London. "We hope this show will give people a unique perspective for what it takes to build a football program," said Jon Oliver, Virginia's Executive Associate Athletics Director. "The show's format is inspired by the HBO Sports Productions 'Hard Knocks' and 'Jimmie Johnson: The Road to Daytona.' This series will allow fans to see the inner-workings of the organization and truly get to know everybody involved in the program. Coach London's been very supportive of this project and we appreciate his willingness to allow the cameras into meetings, practices, and other team activities." Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic delivers more than 500 live sporting events per year, along with Emmy Award-winning news, analysis and entertainment programming, to more than 4.6 million homes throughout the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic will lead into tonight's first episode of "Virginia Football: The Building of a Program" with a replay of the Virginia baseball team's game one win over North Carolina on May 15.

This Week In Recruiting Positive news on Morgan Moses coming this week? Late last week, Morgan Moses' mother Marion expressed confidence in her son making the grade (in the classroom and on the standardized test) to gain admission to the University of Virginia. Moses reportedly posted on Facebook that he secured the needed qualifying scores. The Sabre hopes to reach Fork Union Military Academy head coach John Shuman for an update on Moses' status as well. Moses, a 6-7, 340-pound offensive tackle prospect, attended FUMA for a postgraduate year after falling short of qualifying out of Meadowbrook High School (Richmond, VA). If he has indeed gained admission, Moses, an Army All-American in 2009, would be a big addition for new head coach Mike London's program. Speaking of mammoth offensive tackles ... 6-8, 280-pound rising senior Keith Lumpkin was scheduled to visit Virginia this past weekend. We'll check in on the big-time talent out of St. Peter's Prep (Jersey City, N.J.), a school Virginia has recruited successfully in the past. Lumpkin boasts 20 written FBS offers including one from Virginia. Bailey looking around? Edna Karr (New Orleans, LA) safety/linebacker Matt Bailey committed to head coach Al Groh last September and has stuck by his decision, but he does plan on attending camp at other schools this summer. Currently, there are no other offers for the 5-10, 210-pound rising senior, but there is serious interest from other major FBS programs. TheSabre.com is checking in with Bailey so look for an article on him this week. In addition to Bailey, seven other rising high school seniors have pledged to Virginia's 2011 recruiting class. Cole earns offer Also read the EDGE for a report on Cave Spring (Roanoke, VA) LB/S Michael Cole. The 6-2, 200-pound rising senior has picked up an offer from one of the top schools on his list. He discussed the offer and his standing with the University of Virginia, which also seems to be showing heavy interest at this point. Cole had an offer from Duke prior to this latest offer. Basketball recruiting The Sabre also checked in on the basketball recruiting front with one of Virginia's top 2011 class targets in Christ School (Arden, N.C.) guard Damarcus Harrison. The 6-4, 185-pound Harrison intends on visiting Virginia for the first time next month. Find out when he plans to visit and what other schools he plans to visit as well this summer. Virginia head coach Tony Bennett has been in consistent contact with Harrison, who boasts offers from BYU, College of Charleston, Virginia and Wisconsin.

Issue No. 198 - July 15, 2005
This Week In Recruiting Virginia added two more commitments this week, giving the Hoos 11 total. Deep Run (Glen Allen, VA) star Sean Gottschalk was the first player to commit this week. The 6-5, 250-pound defensive end chose Virginia over Boston College, Georgia, Miami and Ohio State - all had offered. Gottschalk had received close to 20 Division 1A offers up to this point. As a junior last season, Gottschalk, a good athlete who also plays basketball, finished with 56 tackles and six sacks. A tight end and defensive end for former UVa player and current Deep Run head coach Lenny Pritchard, he projects as a defensive end in Al Groh's scheme. An excellent student, he carries a 3.7 grade point average and earned all-academic honors. Virginia's second verbal of the week came from a player very new to the targets list. On Thursday, the Cavaliers extended an offer to 6-3, 195-pound Monsignor Bonner (Lansdowne, PA) quarterback Marc Verica. UVa quarterbacks coach Mike Groh asked for a quick decision and got one, as Verica committed shortly thereafter. He chose Virginia over an official offer from Wisconsin and a verbal offer from Michigan State. As a junior last season, Verica threw for 1,700 yards and 10 touchdowns in a run-oriented version of the west coast offense. He turned in impressive performances at the Nike camp at State College and at UVa's summer camp. Verica says a strong arm (can throw the ball 70 yards in the air), quick feet (ran a 4.25 in the shuttle at Nike) and poise in the pocket make him stand out over other quarterbacks. He is looking forward to the 2005 season and a more passer-friendly offense.
