Ralph Sampson Inducted Collegiate Hall Virginia Athletics Media Relations Official Release Former Virginia standout Ralph Sampson was inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame on Sunday (Nov. 20) at the Midland Theatre in Kansas City. Sampson is the first Virginia player to be inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. The eight-member induction class includes players Chris Mullin, Cazzie Russell, James Worthy and Sampson, coaches Bob Knight and Eddie Sutton, and contributors Eddie Einhorn and Joe Vancisin. It is the sixth class inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame, which was established in 2006. Sampson, a 7-4 center, was a three-time National and Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year during his four years (1980-83) in the Virginia program. He was a four-time All-America selection, earned three consecutive Rupp Trophies and Naismith Awards, and two consecutive John R. Wooden Awards and Eastman Awards. With Sampson in the program, the Cavaliers won the 1980 National Invitation Tournament (NIT) Championship and participated in three consecutive NCAA Tournaments (1981-83), reaching the Final Four in 1981. Virginia compiled an overall record of 112-23 with Sampson on the team and was ranked in the Top 10 by The Associated Press for 49 consecutive weeks. Sampson scored 2,228 points during his UVa career and also totaled 1,511 rebounds, 899 field goals and 462 blocked shots. He is the Cavaliers' career leader in rebounds, field goals and blocked shots, and ranks fourth on UVa's career scoring list. Following his four-year collegiate career, Sampson was selected by the Houston Rockets as the NBA's number-one draft choice in 1983 and went on to earn NBA Rookie of the Year honors. He participated in three NBA All-Star games and was MVP of the NBA All-Star Game in 1985. During his nine-season NBA career, he helped lead Houston to the 1986 NBA Finals and later played for the Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings and Washington Bullets.

This Week In Recruiting The Virginia Tech game should be a big one in terms of recruit attendance. For starters, a large number of the University of Virginia 2012 class commitments are expected to be at Scott Stadium on Saturday. Most of Virginia's class will be there. I wouldn't be surprised to see a top remaining 2012 target or two there as well, and some 2013 class standouts will be on hand too. Surely, it'll be a big day recruiting-wise, adding to what is already a big game for the Virginia football program. Check back with TheSabre on Friday for an update on those prospects expected to make the trek to Charlottesville on Saturday. After this past weekend, only four recruits from Virginia's 2012 class have games left to play. They are: OL Andre Miles-Redmond, CB C.J. Moore, RB Kye Morgan and DE/TE Max Valles. Morgan has only one game left to play, and it's this Thursday when Franklin (Somerset, N.J.) meets Piscataway in a Thanksgiving Day contest. Franklin has been eliminated from the playoffs. Miles-Redmond, Moore and Valles are all trying to help their respective teams capture state championship glory. Read more on these and other Virginia commits in the latest "Week In Review," which is now up on the Good Ol Blog. Also, EDGE subscribers can read more on top defensive end recruit Mike Moore in the latest "Notes" segment, posted last Friday. Moore, one of UVa's most highly rated recruits in the 2012 class, looks to help the Cavaliers add another highly rated recruit to the class. That recruit is Good Counsel (Olney, MD) standout wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who plans on revealing his final seven schools next Tuesday, Nov. 29 (his birthday). Virginia is a serious contender for this big-time playmaker ... we'll see just how serious next week.

Virginia Upsets No. 3 Tennessee Virginia Athletics Media Relations Official Release Virginia senior forward Chelsea Shine scored 18 points, including a key basket in overtime, and the UVa women's basketball team stunned turnover-prone No. 3 Tennessee, 69-64, on Sunday. The Cavaliers (4-0) came into the game allowing just over 42 points a game under first-year coach Joanne Boyle, and dictated the pace against a Lady Vols team averaging 90.5 points. Taber Spani led the Lady Vols (2-1) with 22 points, including a 3-pointer 59 seconds into overtime that gave Tennessee a 61-58 lead, but the Cavaliers scored the next 11 points, the crowd at John Paul Jones Arena getting more excited with each basket. China Crosby had 13 points and Ataira Franklin 12 for Virginia, which beat Tennessee for just the third time in 16 games. Lexie Gerson and Ariana Moorer each scored 10. It was the first road game for Tennessee since coach Pat Summitt announced in the offseason that she has been diagnosed with early onset dementia. She received a warm welcome when she came out onto the floor just before the game.

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 321 - December 10, 2007 FUMA's Pasztor Commits Fork Union Military Academy offensive lineman Austin Pasztor made an official visit to UVa this past weekend. The 6-6, 310-pound prospect had an excellent official visit experience and, earlier today, gave a verbal commitment to head coach Al Groh, according to The Daily Progress and other reports. Pasztor becomes Virginia's 15th verbal commitment for the 2008 recruiting class. He is the fourth prospect projected to play on the offensive line. A native of Langton, Ontario, Canada, Pasztor was discovered by Fork Union postgraduate head coach John Shuman in August, when Fork Union scrimmaged against the Canadian National team. Pasztor decided to come to Fork Union and, even though he is classified as a true senior, played for Coach Shuman's postgraduate squad this season. He played well, starting every game at left tackle.
