Don't Miss The Sabre's Special Series
TheSabre.com debuted a new series in August called "Beyond The Lawn" that is found exclusively through TheSabre.com EDGE subscription service. "Beyond The Lawn" is a 12-month series that follows three Virginia Cavaliers through a year as a professional athlete. Baseball's Tyler Wilson (Baltimore Orioles), track and field's Stephanie Marie Garcia (U.S. Olympic hopeful), and football's Clint Sintim (New York Giants) share their experiences throughout the year. Most recently, Sintim checked in to talk about the challenge of ACL injuries (Beyond The Lawn With Clint Sintim: Staying Strong Through Knee Injuries): "Rehabbing the first time was a little difficult because of the lockout and you would like the same familiarity with the doctors who did the surgery and a second eye to tell you this is what you should be doing. I was fortunate enough to be able to do some of the rehab at UVa and to have good doctors at UVa and Kelli Pugh, my trainer at UVa, who I trusted during my tenure here. They were there to help me out and help me with what I needed be doing, how it should be done, and how I could get it stronger. It was the best out of a bad situation. I would have loved to be up in New York, but I didn't mind that I had to go to Charlottesville. It gave me a chance to work out with guys, Chris Long and a lot of other guys that I played ball with. It worked out fine for me." Join the EDGE to follow these Wahoos and their lives as pros!

Recruiting News | |||||
This Week In Recruiting The Good Ol Blog's "Week In Review" is now up. Ocean Lakes (Virginia Beach, VA) defensive end/wide receiver Eli Harold, one of Virginia's top recruits in the 2012 class, was one of the top performers this past week. Cavalier fans can read about his performance in the Dolphins' victory over Green Run and how the rest of the 2012 class performed on the gridiron this past week, so be sure to check it out. Buford (GA) has a bye week this week. Cornerback/wide receiver recruit C.J. Moore and fullback/linebacker Nathan Staub plan to spend their weekends in Charlottesville, with Moore on an unofficial visit and Staub on an official trip. Moore, a 5'9", 165-pound senior with blazing speed, committed to Mike London and company this summer. Staub, a senior, remains uncommitted and is considering the Hoos, Cal, Harvard and UNC. He has taken an official visit to Chapel Hill already, so this weekend's trip will be the second official visit of his recruitment. We'll check in with both prospects before and after the visit for comments. As always, TheSabre.com will have more information on weekend visitors on Friday, so stay tuned. This week, we'll check in with quarterback Matt Johns for the latest on his senior season. The 6'4", 195-pound prospect guided Central Bucks South (PA) to a win this past weekend. Cavalier fans also can read more on top 2013 tight end target Adam Breneman, who was in Charlottesville for the Southern Miss game. The 6'5", 225-pound junior has been offered by the Cavaliers and many, many others throughout the country.

Blog Banter: Film Festival Features Movie With Sene From TheSabre.com's Good Ol Blog Like movies and Virginia basketball? Well, here's some good news. The Virginia Film Festival features a documentary with Cavalier center Assane Sene this year. Elevate highlights four players including Sene from the SEEDS Academy (learn more at www.seedproject.org) in Dakar, Senegal where young basketball players from across West Africa gather for a program that focuses on academics and athletic training. Players, like Sene, who stand out earn full scholarships to preparatory high schools in the United States. That step could create opportunities for college. Elevate is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 4 at 6:45 p.m. at the Regal 3 theater on the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville (click here for more info) as part of the annual festival. Sene and Kandioura Drame will have a discussion at the screening. Fans have discussed the movie on the EDGE message board. So is Sene a movie star? "I'm not a movie star yet. I'm more like a student and a basketball player for now," a smiling Sene said at Virginia's men’s basketball media day on Thursday. "It's a documentary they did about me and some other players from Senegal. We went to a school in Senegal called SEEDS. They made a documentary trying to help and support the [SEEDS program] and go forward like I'm helping this program to go forward. I'm not a movie star yet, but I've heard that a lot. People are like 'You're a movie star' and I'm like not yet." For now? Not yet? Doesn't sound like the door is shut on the bright lights of Hollywood. "Not yet because I don't know. I don't know exactly what's going to happen tomorrow or next year or next month. I don't really know so that's why I use the yet," Sene said laughing.

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 424 - December 14, 2009 London Takes Helm, Names Four Assistants Last Monday afternoon, Mike London was introduced as Virginia's new head football coach. He is the 39th coach in program history. London, who spent the two previous seasons at the University of Richmond, worked at Virginia for two previous stints, most recently as the defensive coordinator. At UR, London led the Spiders to a 24-5 record and the Football Championship Series National Championship in 2008. Shortly after taking the top spot in the program, London announced the addition of four assistant coaches to his staff. He retained current assistant coach Anthony Poindexter from the previous staff. London also added Vincent Brown, Jeff Hanson and Mike Faragalli, who all coached with him at Richmond. London will also make an announcement regarding Bob Price's status with the UVa football program following further evaluation. Price and Poindexter had overseen the administrative duties for the football program during the period of the coaching search. Additional coaching news has been scarce, though the rumor mill continues to swirl with potential coordinator candidates. The most popular names out there currently are Jim Reid and Bill Musgrave, both of which have validity as potential candidates according to our sources. Reid, a linebacker coach for the Miami Dolphins that worked as the head coach of Richmond and VMI previously, would be up for the defensive coordinator role while Musgrave, current quarterbacks coach for the Atlanta Falcons and former UVa assistant, would be in line for the offensive coordinator slot. One other name that has popped up regularly in the rumor mill is Chris Beatty, an assistant coach at West Virginia. Sabre sources over the weekend indicated that Beatty likely would not be joining the UVa staff despite some indications earlier in the week that he would be on his way to Charlottesville. London will announce additional assistant coaches and specific position assignments at a future date. |
