Harris Suffers Bone Fracture Virginia Athletics Media Relations official release Virginia sophomore guard Joe Harris fractured a bone in his left hand in the Cavaliers' 70-52 loss at North Carolina on Saturday (Feb. 11). The stable fracture will be managed without an operation at this time. Harris' hand will be protected when he plays and he will be closely monitored. Harris has started all 24 of the Cavaliers' games this season. He is averaging 12.5 points and 4.1 rebounds a game. Virginia's next game is at Clemson on Tuesday (Feb. 14). The game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. (Editor's Note: Virginia coach Tony Bennett said Monday that Harris would be a game time decision at Clemson.)

This Week In Recruiting UVa football plans to host two junior days this month, and the first is being held this Saturday, when the men's basketball team takes on rival Maryland at the John Paul Jones Arena. Briar Woods (Ashburn, VA) junior linebacker Matt Rolin, who is approaching double-digit scholarship offers, plans to attend the Feb. 18 event. Read more on the 6'4", 205-pound linebacker in an EDGE article posted last week. Two other juniors - Lovejoy (Hampton, GA) tight end Arshad Jackson and Warhill (Williamsburg, VA) offensive tackle prospect Parker Osterloh - were also featured on the EDGE last week. Jackson and Osterloh plan to attend the Feb. 25 junior day event. Jackson was offered by the Cavaliers after his performance at last summer's 7-on-7 tournament in Charlottesville. Osterloh, who stands 6'7" and weighs 260 pounds, was offered just last week. This week on the recruiting beat, I'll preview the Feb. 18 junior day event. I'll also provide updates and breaking news from the event throughout the weekend. Also, I will provide a full report on Virginia's 2012 recruited walk-on group. On the basketball front, I'll check in again with UVa's 2012 men's basketball class for an update on how they are doing in this, their final year on the high school level.

Volleyball, Field Hockey Add Assistants From Virginia Athletics Media Relations official releases A pair of Virginia programs added assistant coaches to their ranks. On the volleyball front, Virginia coach Dennis Hohenshelt has named Stevie Mussie, an NC State assistant the past two years, as an assistant coach with the Cavaliers. Mussie will serve as recruiting coordinator and will oversee the Hoo offense and work primarily with outside hitters, back-row players and passers. Prior to her time in Raleigh, N.C., Mussie spent 2009 with Team Complete Athlete, a high-profile club volleyball program based in Newport Beach, Calif. Mussie was an assistant coach at Colorado in 2008. "I am very excited about the opportunity to work at such a distinguished institution and having the opportunity to work with Dennis," Mussie said. "Helping this volleyball program progress will be an exciting experience." The field hockey program added former Penn State standout Annie Zinkavich as an assistant coach. At Virginia, Zinkavich will coach the goalkeepers and assume the recruiting coordinator role along with alumni outreach efforts. She replaces former assistant coach Alexandra Street. Zinkavich arrives in Charlottesville after spending the past six seasons as an assistant coach at her alma mater, Penn State. With the Nittany Lions, she worked primarily with the goalkeepers and assisted in the day-to-day operations of the program. Zinkavich helped Penn State to five NCAA Tournament appearances and coached the Nittany Lions in the 2007 national championship game. "I am very pleased with Annie's decision to join the coaching staff at the University of Virginia," UVa field hockey coach Michele Madison said. "I have watched her coach on many occasions and noted what an engaging young coach she is. Her positive teaching style will fit in with our obnoxiously positive energies. She has been mentored by Char Morrett, one of hockey's best coaches, so I know she is prepared to work in the ACC and eagerly looking forward to a new challenge."

Issue No. 477 - Jan. 3, 2011 Sherrill Showing Toughness
When Virginia senior forward Will Sherrill crumpled to the floor against Minnesota on Nov. 29 in the ACC-Big 10 Challenge, it didn't look good to say the least. How could it when the Gophers' 6'10", 258-pound Colton Iverson fell on top of Sherrill's leg? The official news that followed was that Sherrill fractured his fibula on the play. If you had told me at the time that Sherrill would return in time for UVa's Dec. 30 game with Iowa State, just one month and one day after the injury, I wouldn't have believed you. I might have called you crazy. Four weeks? Sherrill, meanwhile, brushes it off as a matter of pain tolerance. He is wearing a heavily taped right leg with a fiberglass pad underneath. "Yeah, straight pain tolerance. The bone is healed enough where it's not really going to break more. It's just trying to man up I guess," Sherrill said with a smile. "It's definitely tough. At the beginning of the second half, I played for like two minutes and I had to get a sub because it was pretty painful. It will go in stretches where it will feel good then it might get kicked or I'll land awkwardly so I just try to take it possession by possession." A tough challenge? Yeah, you could say that. Playing on that leg hurts. I watched Sherrill hobble out of the room after meeting with reporters last week. On Sunday, he sat with an ice bag wrapped around the leg, something he has to do several times a day, especially after practices and games. He also has an electric stimulation kit that he frequently holds on the leg when away from the John Paul Jones Arena to help with the healing process. In other words, that's one tough dude.
