UVa The Perfect Fit For Moore Paul Montana, last year's intern for TheSabre.com, is working at The Martinsville Bulletin in southern Virginia. Martinsville, of course, produced Shawn Moore, one of the greatest players ever to suit up for UVa's football program. Montana caught up with Moore, Virginia's new receivers coach, recently for an exclusive story with his hometown paper. Check out this quote from the article and make sure to give the former Sabre intern's article a full read by clicking here: "When I look at our installation on a day-to-day basis, I almost look at it from a quarterback's perspective, thinking about progression. So I share that with my receivers," Moore said. "I think they feel like they have a better grasp when they come off from practice each day, because they're looking at it from a quarterback's eyes. "Every time I see what we're installing, I go, 'OK. Here's the progression, here's what we're going to do.' I don't think there was a better fit for me than working with the receivers, especially for my first college job." Moore also shared some thoughts on the receivers in The Sabre's Hoo Preview article on the receivers - check that out here. Remember, the Sabre's annual "Hoo Preview" is taking an August-long look at the football team. The Sabre will have stories every week day through Friday, Aug. 27. The Hoo Preview includes exclusive position-by-position analysis, columns, features, and interviews about the Cavaliers. Make sure you have an EDGE subscription so you can follow the action. The Sabre's regular game week coverage begins on Monday, Aug. 30 for the Richmond game.

This Week In Recruiting Basketball recruiting UVa hosted Greater Atlanta Christian (Atlanta, GA) senior guard/forward Malcolm Brogdon on a visit this past weekend. Initial attempts to reach the 6-5, 205-pound prospect were unsuccessful, but stay tuned to the EDGE for more later this week. Brogdon, a talented scorer that has turned in a strong spring and summer on the AAU circuit, is considering offers from Virginia, Butler, Clemson, Georgia, Harvard, Minnesota and Vanderbilt according to Georgia Stars AAU coach Christopher Richards. He averaged 20 points per game as a junior at GAC this past season and continued the stellar play for the Georgia Stars.
Football recruiting When Diamonte Bailey entered Hermitage High School (Richmond, VA) in 2007, he considered himself more of a basketball player. Weeks before the start of his senior year, Bailey, a 6-3, 220-pound defensive end, has accepted a scholarship to play football at the University of Virginia. Bailey is an important piece in what will be a talented Panthers squad, one that should contend for a Group AAA, Division 6 State Championship. "Going into the ninth grade, I wasn't sure I'd played football. I decided to come out because a lot of my friends were playing. I came out and played quarterback. It didn't work out too well. I was moved down to the freshman team while my friends played on the JV. It bothered me and pushed me. My sophomore year I played defensive end on the JV and had something like 15 sacks. My junior year I had a breakout season and that got me to where I am now," said Bailey, who had 52 tackles including nine sacks in 2009. Bailey discusses his commitment to Virginia, the development he has shown since last season, who sparked his interest in football, and more in an EDGE article so keep an eye out for that one. Keeping on the commitment front, read the latest on H.D. Woodson (Washington, D.C.) tight end Darius Redman on the EDGE as well. The 6-4, 230-pound prospect discusses his future, including whether or not he'll enroll at UVa in January of 2011. A pair of commitments will be in action this week. DT/OG David Dean and Green Run (Virginia Beach, VA) will take on Bayside (Va Beach) this Saturday. Bayside is led by top senior cornerback prospect Demetrious Nicholson. DL Vincent Croce and his Good Counsel (Olney, MD) teammates travel to Cincinnati (OH) to take on St. Xavier High School on Sunday at 3 p.m. The game will be televised on ESPN.

Blog Banter: Ducks Coming To Charlottesville
The Oregonian’s John Hunt blogged Friday that the Oregon men’s basketball team will play Virginia on Dec. 17 at the John Paul Jones Arena. The full UVa schedule for Tony Bennett’s second season will not be released until late August or early September even though tickets are already on sale – read more here. Still, as The Sabre first put together in this blog post, you can figure out much of the non-conference schedule from other published reports. Here it is again:
The Hoos have 17 regular-season home games, including nine non-conference opponents. Expect the remaining six opponents to be against teams away from the power conferences. Follow the Hoos every day on The Good Ol Blog.

Issue No. 84 - April 25, 2003 Spring game a highlight for freshman Brooks While there were quite a few impressive players at last Saturday's spring football festival, one in particular stood out above them all. Freshman linebacker Ahmad Brooks made his Cavalier debut and had the crowd gasping on just about play in which he was involved. Brooks showed his speed, power and instincts as he racked up tackle after tackle, including one hard hit on backup quarterback Anthony Martinez, deflecting his intended pass. Brooks certainly lived up to all of the hype that surrounded him when he was considered the nation's best defender coming out of high school. Heisman Trophy quarterback Matt Schaub led the Hoos offensively and never seemed to miss a beat. In these types of contests, it's really hard to distinguish whether or not the offensive was really good, or the defense really bad. But, if the defense was indeed playing well, opposing teams had better start worrying about number seven this season. Virginia put heavy emphasis on their running game throughout most of the day, and backs Marquis Weeks and Wali Lundy had stellar performances. Even with the threat of rain, the fans turned out well for the festival. There were well over 6,000 in attendance, which was far better than in previous years when the games were played at Klockner Stadium and Albemarle High School.
