Recruiting News | |||||
This Week In Recruiting As part of our continuing preseason coverage of the Hoos, I caught up with six true freshmen - QB David Watford, WR Darius Jennings, LB Daquan Romero, CB Demetrious "Trey" Nicholson, CB Brandon Phelps and S Anthony Harris - following the final two open practices, for their thoughts on preseason practice, the 2011 class, adapting to college life and much more. With Watford and Romero, they'll go in depth on their experiences as January enrollees and how much they benefitted from the spring practice. For a preview of what's to come, all TheSabre.com followers can check out the SabreTV videos on Romero and Harris posted last week. Both players are vying for playing time this coming season.

TheSabre.com's Hoo Preview Continues
Each August, TheSabre.com rolls out its "Hoo Preview" for football season and the 2011 edition already has a week in the books! Nearly every day in August, we'll have articles on your Cavaliers as we preview the 2011 season, Mike London's second year at the helm. The "Hoo Preview" features position-by-position breakdowns, schedule analysis, interviews, columns, and more! So if you're tired of newspapers in your area barely paying attention to the Hoos or the short write-ups by national media, the Sabre EDGE is the place to be in August. And it costs less to join the EDGE for one month than to buy a preseason magazine. For just $5.99, you have access to the EDGE throughout August and our entire EDGE archives! Subscribe here. If you sign up for an annual subscription, you get two months free (vs. 12 months at our monthly rate) and it only costs approximately 16-17 cents a day! On tap for this week are the receivers, tight ends, defensive backs, and true freshmen.
Garcia Named To USA Team UVa Athletics Media Relations Official Release Former UVa track & field student-athlete Stephanie Garcia has been named to the USA team and will participate in the 2011 IAAF World Championship in Daegu, Korea. Garcia replaces Delilah DiCrescenzo who pulled out due to injury. DiCrescenzo is the former Columbia runner that was immortalized in the Plain White T's song, "Hey There Delilah." Garcia and the rest of Team USA will participate in the IAAF World Championship August 27-September 4. "This is an exciting opportunity for me and serves as my first big experience as a post-collegiate runner," said Garcia. "I am looking forward to representing the USA at such a high level and aim to be a symbol of all the amazing training I had at Virginia." Garcia was added to the team after finishing fourth at the USATF Championship in June. She finished the 3000-meter steeplechase in 9:55.50. Most recently Garcia raced to a career-best 9:41.12 to place No. 2 in the 3000-meter steeplechase at Ghent, Belgium on July 30. Garcia's time placed her under the Olympic A standard. Being named to the team is a serendipitous turn of events for Garcia who had her grip on third place at the USATF Championship in June. The top three finishers in the 3000-meter steeplechase would punch tickets to Daegu. Garcia fell on her way through the final water pit only 200 meters from the finish, dropping her to fourth place and for the time being out of the World Championships until DiCrescenzo pulled out. "It is a complete honor to be part of this team," added Garcia. "This has been a crazy-great year for me. I have made leaps and improvements this year. To be able to compete at the World Championships is icing on the cake."

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 223 - Jan. 6, 2006 Post of the Week
Subject: On the folly of comparing coaches too early Despite the posturing by some anti-Petes, at this point in Gillen's first year, there was very little to criticize. At this point in Dave's first year, there is very little to criticize. It's just not fair to compare them, and it's no more fair to judge Dave a success or a failure at this stage than it was to judge Pete a success or failure at this stage. Both coaches inherited a desperate talent deficit, and deserve(d) a few years before judgement. I think a lot of people are still bitter about being "taken in" by Pete, believing that he could lead us to the promised land, and are disappointed in the results and resolved not to "make the same mistake again," which I understand. I'm bitter about buying the line myself. But I think it's lead to excessive and unfair negativity about Dave, as if everyone wants to be the first poster to 'discover' what turns out to be Dave's fatal flaw (as defense and discipline were Pete's). Let's just let it ride. As in Pete's first year, there should be NO expectations for this year. We have seven healthy scholarship players, each with some flaws that more talented complementary players could minimize, but our talent deficit is dramatic, so the flaws can easily become the focus, instead of the strengths. Unfortunately, the rush to be the "I told you so" guy seems to be shifting our focus to the flaws. Let's just watch the team's development and root for the establishment of a new philosophy that can catapult us to the upper level in the ACC, accepting that this year's team could get absolutely clocked and still be a success. |
