Game Week Arrives! Believe it or not Wahoo fans, it's game week! The Virginia football team kicks off its 2012 season this Saturday when Richmond visits Scott Stadium for a 3 p.m. kickoff. As always, TheSabre.com has game information pages set up to help fans prepare for that week's game. Here is the Richmond game info page. With the first game around the corner, coach Mike London is expected to release the season's first depth chart at Monday's weekly press conference. Coach London is set to meet with the media at 3 p.m. Check out TheSabre.com's Twitter feed during the press conference for live updates. Also, the first weekly "Coach's Corner with Mike London" radio program, airs on Virginia Sports Radio Network stations across the Commonwealth tonight. The program runs from 7:06-8 p.m. Starting this year, fans can also listen to the show free of charge online at virginiasports.com. One more programming note for Monday, Aug. 27: the second episode of the popular "Building of a Program" television show will make its debut on Comcast SportsNet. This episode will also air on Friday, Aug. 31 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 1 at 9 a.m. Finally, TheSabre.com is wrapping up its month-long Hoo Preview on Monday with JHoo's preseason article. That will mark the 41st preseason articles on the Hoos from the web's oldest Virginia fan site. A one-month EDGE subscription costs just $5.99, which is cheaper than preseason magazines and with 41 season preview articles on your Hoos for the month, that's roughly 14 cents per article! And if you want to be "in the know" all year long, The Sabre EDGE is the place to be. TheSabre.com is still the cheapest annual option of any UVa subscription site at just $59.99! 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). |

Recruiting News | |||||
This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne Senior Taquan "Smoke" Mizzell announced last Tuesday that he was verbally committing to the University of Virginia, but Mike London and company were not done with commitments for the week. Saturday night, Victory Christian Academy (Lakeland, FL) junior defensive tackle prospect Chris Nelson called primary recruiter Jeff Hanson to pledge to the Hoos. Mizzell, a running back Rivals.com ranks as a 5-star recruit, gives UVa its fourth recruit out of Bayside High School (Virginia Beach, VA) in as many years. The 5'10", 190-pound standout is also the Cavaliers' 18th commitment in the class of 2013. Nelson, who is Virginia's first class of 2014 commitment, hails from the same high school Cavaliers freshman linebacker Demeitre Brim attended. At 6'2", 270 pounds, he has primarily played linebacker in his 2-year VCA varsity career, a testament to his athletic ability. Virginia is recruiting him strictly as a defensive tackle. EDGE subscribers can read more on Mizzell and Nelson in articles posted last week. Later this evening, I'll have an update on Bishop Sullivan (Virginia Beach, VA) junior wide receiver Jamil Kamara. The 6'2", 195-pound prospect discusses recruiting, providing a clear leader, in this latest update. Kamara may be in Charlottesville this Saturday to see UVa take on Richmond. He may be there with the aforementioned Mizzell, as the two are good friends. Also this week, check out The Good Ol Blog for the first "Week In Review" of the 2012 season. The "Week" is a look at how each of UVa's class of 2013 commitments fared on the gridiron last weekend. And I'll also have an EDGE article up on offensive lineman Steven Moss, who has become one of the state's most coveted prospects in the class of 2014. Finally, on the basketball front, Crespi (Encino, CA) senior point guard London Perrantes is expected to take an official visit to UVa this weekend. TheSabre.com will follow up with the talented guard following the trip, so stay tuned.

Issue No. 462 - September 13, 2010
This Week In Recruiting There will be some news on the basketball recruiting front this week. Whether it's positive or negative remains to be seen. Landon School (Bethesda, MD) head boys basketball coach Andy Luther said late last week that senior Darion Atkins will make an official visit to the University of Virginia this week. Coach Luther believes the visit will begin Monday. Atkins, a 6-8, 210-pound power forward prospect, took an official visit to Notre Dame over the weekend. The Fighting Irish and the Cavaliers lead for the athletic prospect, a player Luther calls "extremely long and athletic. He has incredible timing as a shot-blocker. He has impressive vertical abilities and he gets back up off the floor really fast, which probably explains his gifts as a shot-blocker. He runs the floor very well. He's very active on the offensive glass. He has a good nose for the ball." A decision from Atkins may come as soon as this week. Stay tuned to TheSabre EDGE for the latest on this situation later this week. Virginia has secured some perimeter help in this class with commitments from Greater Atlanta Christian (Atlanta, GA) guard Malcolm Brogdon and Merrill (WI) wing guard/forward Paul Jesperson.
