A Momentum Win? After Virginia's comeback victory against Bucknell on Sunday afternoon, coach Dom Starsia was asked if there is any such thing as momentum that carries forward from one game to the next. The Hoos' thrilling 13-12 overtime win, which featured a 10-6 UVa deficit late in the third quarter, earned the team a berth in the NCAA Quarterfinals against Cornell. So can such a dramatic and emotional victory propel the Cavaliers in the match-up with the Big Red? "I think it goes to confidence. You know Cornell is not going to care anything about our momentum, but we have a little bit of personal confidence now and a little bit more of it than we had before this game started," Starsia said. "My guess is that we'll have a little bit more of an edge to us in practice and we're going to be a little bit more determined about this Cornell team. ... Even in the locker room downstairs after we shook Bucknell's hands and saying to the guys whatever it takes for us the next five days and them looking back at you like 'Hey, you're right. Let's do it." A win like this gives us a little bit of personal confidence that you can't talk about getting, you have to actually do something in order to develop that." The Cavaliers face Cornell on Saturday at noon. That game is slated to appear on ESPN2 in HD. Talk about the win against Bucknell or the upcoming contest with the Big Red on TheSabre.com's lacrosse message board.

This Week In Recruiting Virginia got its big-time middle linebacker last week, when Norfolk Christian (VA) junior Kwontie Moore pledged to the Hoos. The 6-1, 242-pound standout, a member of the Rivals.com preseason Top 250, chose the Cavaliers over offers from Arkansas, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Stanford and Virginia Tech, among others. This week, I'll take a closer look at Virginia's defensive recruiting over the course of the past two classes, including an overview of some of the top remaining targets in and out of the state. I'll also break down, position by position, the 2012 roster, examining the biggest needs in this class. With Moore in the fold, Virginia now has four commits in the 2012 class. All four project to play on the defensive side of the ball. Norfolk Christian has four major FBS prospects in its 2012 class. Virginia has gained two of them in Moore and 5-10, 185-pound defensive back Wil Wahee. Virginia Tech is on the board now, though, with 6-5, 210-pound wide receiver/free safety Mario Nixon, who committed to the Hokies over Virginia this weekend. Defensive lineman Courtnye Wynn is the fourth and final recruit, and currently he is high on both in-state schools. Don't be surprised if the 6-5, 245-pound junior makes a decision soon as well, so stay tuned. Also this week ...

Sabre Edge recruiting updates from the past week ... Wil Wahee only has two years of football experience, but the 5-10, 185-pound junior showed enough to sway Virginia head coach Mike London into offering a full scholarship last weekend. Wahee, a player Norfolk Christian (Norfolk, VA) linebackers coach Shannon Messick calls a "diamond in the rough," made big plays on offense while being highly productive on defense last season.

Blog Banter: Scott's Impact On Wins? Last week on The Good Ol Blog, TheSabre.com held a poll of fan votes for men's basketball. With the news that the ACC approved Mike Scott's medical hardship waiver request, UVa fans were asked what Mike Scott's return meant for wins in Tony Bennett’s third season on the job. The results fell heavily in the range of 20-25 wins; 59.78% of votes selected that as the range of victories for the Hoos. See the full poll results here.

Issue No. 290 - April 30, 2007 Hamilton, Snelling Drafted On Sunday, Virginia's Marcus Hamilton and Jason Snelling joined a long list of Cavaliers who have been selected in the NFL Draft. Both players were picked in the seventh and final round, extending a streak of 24 straight years for UVa players. The Falcons drafted Snelling with the 244th overall selection, while Hamilton followed immediately at No. 245 when Tampa Bay called his name. Snelling was excited for the opportunity to play in Atlanta. "I was hoping Atlanta would call me. This is a blessing and I look forward to working for the Atlanta Falcons," Snelling said in a news release. "This is something I've been dreaming of all of my life." Hamilton was also happy for the chance to continue his football career in the NFL. "I am happy that the Lord blessed me with the opportunity to play at the next level and that I was able to be drafted," Hamilton told The Daily Progress. "That's something that very few people get the opportunity to do and I am just truly thankful for the opportunity." |
