More On Bob Davis Kevin Parks joined some elite company on Saturday night when he rushed for 3 touchdowns in his debut. Parks became the first Cavalier to rush for three touchdowns in his collegiate debut since Bob Davis in 1964! Davis did so as a sophomore since freshmen were ineligible to play at the time. That's a pair of impressive debuts! Davis made the Cavaliers' No. 12 jersey popular back in the 60's before QB legend and current assistant coach Shawn Moore rocked the number as the Hoos rose to No. 1 in the national polls. Kevin Edds, the creator and director of "WAHOOWA: The History of Virginia Cavalier Football" (Buy the DVD here at UVa Bookstores, TheSabre.com's longest running sponsor!), included a segment on Davis in his recent movie. Edds shared these thoughts with The Sabre on Davis:
In 1964, an athletic, scrambling, Cavalier quarterback began to amaze University of Virginia fans with not only his arm, but his feet. Bob Davis, who would lead the team in rushing that year, began to strike fear into the hearts of opposing defensive coordinators. With two 100-yard rushing games by his third year, Davis was a prelude to the dual-threat quarterbacks like Shawn Moore that would come 25 years later. Virginia fans are sharing their thoughts and memories on Bob Davis too. Check it out on the EDGE message board in this thread.

This Week In Recruiting Football recruiting Stratford (Houston, TX) cornerback Kelvin Rainey made the trek to Charlottesville for an official visit this past weekend, and TheSabre.com will have more on his visit this week. The 6'0", 175-pound DB does not appear to have made any decisions as far as his college future, but we'll check in for more on his recruitment, the visit, and where he goes from here. Other confirmed visitors from this past weekend's contest against William & Mary included 2012 commits Maurice Canady, Tyrell Chavis, Ryan Doull, Eli Harold and Andre Miles-Redmond. Top 2013 class target Tim Harris, a defensive back out of Varina High School (VA), was in attendance as well. Harris has been offered by Purdue, Tennessee, Virginia and Virginia Tech but is high on the Hoos in the early going. Basketball recruiting Good news and bad news on the basketball front. Starting with the good, UVa is now on the board in the class of 2014 after Brunswick (Lawrenceville, VA) rising sophomore B.J. Stith verbally committed to head coach Tony Bennett this past Saturday. Stith is the son of former UVa star Bryant Stith, who now serves as Brunswick's head varsity basketball coach. B.J., along with his brother, Brandan, participated at Virginia's Elite Camp this past June. He is a 6'4" combo guard with potential at the point and the 2-guard spots. Last season as a freshman, he helped Brunswick to a Group AA Division 3 State Championship. TheSabre.com was unable to reach the elder Stith over the weekend but we hope to have much more on this development this week. The bad news is another 2012 class point guard target is off the board. Westbury Christian (Houston, TX) standout L.J. Rose has reportedly committed to Baylor. ESPN.com reported last week that the 6'3" point prospect was seriously considering an official visit to UVa.
