Practice, Hoo Preview Keep Rolling The Virginia football team enters its second week of practice Monday as the preseason business of installing the playbook and figuring out the depth chart continues. The Cavaliers planned to put in fourth down, short-yardage, and goal line work during Monday's practice. UVa coach Mike London said at Saturday's final open practice that somewhere near 50-60 percent of the playbook had been put in during the first week of work. As more and more of the Cavaliers' system is introduced, coach Mike London said things like redshirt decisions and depth chart wrinkles start to become more clear. The Hoos' first scrimmage of the fall this week is expected to be on Wednesday and that too will help answer questions for the coaching staff. Of course, the position many fans are interested in is quarterback. Returning starter Michael Rocco is competing with David Watford and Alabama transfer Phillip Sims to lead the offense. "We're still at a point where the two that we've had, David and Michael, know the offense and they know what's going on. We're at a point with Phil this week [where he] is going to be exposed to more things. We're going to have a couple of scrimmages. The only way we can really test how they do is when coaches are off the field and they're calling plays and having to execute," London said. "They're progressing nicely. Michael's knowledge of the offense continues to improve. Same with David. Phillip, having been in a pro style offense before, understands the concepts and things. The biggest thing as Coach [Bill] Lazor and I have talked about with what a quarterback has to have is being accurate and his decision-making abilities. That's what they'll be graded on every day, every throw they make, every situation that they're in ... whatever it is, they know they're being evaluated. So this is an important week for us to see if there's going to be some separation made." London shared those thoughts during a teleconference Monday. EDGE subscribers can get teleconference recaps and open practice notes (practice 1, practice 2, practice 3, practice 4, practice 5, and practice 6) on the subscriber message board. Subscribers also have full access to our month-long Hoo Preview! You won't find better Virginia coverage. So far in August, TheSabre.com has published 15 articles about the Cavalier football team this month (see the links at the bottom of SabreMail). There are tons more in the works as well with articles on the receivers and defensive line up next on the schedule. In other words, the EDGE is well worth it.

Compare that to our competitors and you'll see that we're saving you at least $39.99 a year to follow your Hoos. Plus, you get 10% off from our sponsor UVA Bookstores (some restrictions apply). |

This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne There were several developments on the recruiting front last week, so let's get to those.
This Week ... This Friday, Tabor Academy (Marion, MA) rising senior defensive tackle/ Tevin Montgomery is expected to visit UVa. The 6'5", 290-pounder has the Cavaliers in his current top five, which also includes Boston College, Connecticut, Rutgers, and Vanderbilt. I plan to catch up with Montgomery for comments following this week's trip. In the meantime, EDGE subscribers can read up on the talented prospect in my Aug. 3 article on him. Also this week, EDGE subscribers can read the latest on one of Virginia's top class of 2013 recruits, Varina (VA) DB Tim Harris. The 6'2", 190-pound prospect took in practice at his future school last week. He and his teammates begin their preseason practices Monday.
Chris Horne, our resident recruiting expert, provides updates throughout the week for EDGE subscribers about UVa's commitments and recruiting targets in football and men's basketball.

Issue No. 429 - January 18, 2010
Wright Becomes UVa's All-Time Leading Scorer Monica Wright scored 20 points to pass Dawn Staley as the women's career scoring leader in Virginia history, but No. 23 Virginia lost 61-60 to Maryland on Monday night. Wright, a preseason All-American and the ACC's Preseason Player of the Year, came into the game needing 16 points to pass Staley's total of 2,135 points. Staley, the best player in school history, played from 1989-92 and was a two-time national player of the year. She was also the Cavaliers assists leader until Sharneé Zoll passed her record in February 2008. Wright now has 2,140 points for her career. Staley, who now coaches at South Carolina, also led the Cavaliers to three consecutive Final Four appearances. Read SabreMail No. 429 here. |
