Retro Unis And Honoring Quayle Virginia Athletics Media Relations Official Release The Virginia football team will wear a special throwback uniform for its Sept. 29 home game against Louisiana Tech. The Nike uniforms are modeled after those worn by the Cavaliers' 1968 team that featured ACC Player of the Year Frank Quayle. During the game's halftime ceremonies, Quayle will be honored for his involvement with the Virginia football program as a student-athlete and then as a member of the school's radio broadcast crew for 29 years. He will be presented a framed copy of his retro jersey. The members of the 1968 Virginia football team in attendance will join Quayle on the field for the recognition. A native of Garden City, N.Y., Quayle rushed for 2,695 yards and caught 83 passes for 1,145 yards during his career. During the 1968 season, he rushed for 1,213 yards and caught 30 passes for 426 yards. In addition to being named the ACC's Player of the Year, he also earned the league's Athlete of the Year Award. Quayle also starred on the Virginia lacrosse team during his collegiate athletic career. Quayle's number 24 is one of six numbers retired by the Virginia football program. The retro Virginia game helmets will feature a special decal as a salute to Quayle. Fans will have the chance to purchase a special commemorative 32-ounce souvenir cup at concession stands that features Quayle's image. The Virginia game program will include a special retro cover similar in style to those produced during that era. Check out some Frank Quayle highlights in this video created by UVa Athletics:

This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne My latest Strategy Session article was delayed slightly but will be posted early this week. It'll include a look at both the 2013 and 2014 classes. The emphasis, though, will be on 2014 and the positions and players Mike London and company may focus their efforts on for that class. UVa is all but finished with its 2013 class, boasting 18 commitments (20 if you count 2012 holdovers Tyrell Chavis and Max Valles, who are currently in Fork Union's postgraduate program). Only one or two spots remain in the high school senior class. The majority of UVa's class of 2013 enjoyed victory on the gridiron this past weekend. For the latest on how the future Hoos performed last week, check out the Good Ol Blog for the latest Week In Review. Also this week, I'll take a look at this Friday's big Beach District match-up between Ocean Lakes and Salem. The game features two of the top quarterbacks in the state in Ocean Lakes' Corwin Cutler and Salem's Bucky Hodges. Cutler has committed to Virginia, while Hodges has cast his lot with the Hokies. On Saturday, UVa hopes to rebound from two straight losses when it takes on Louisiana Tech. As always, we'll let you know which prospects were confirmed to be in attendance. One known attendee will be Cavaliers class of 2013 recruit LaChaston Smith, a linebacker prospect out of Statesville, North Carolina. This will be the first Virginia game Smith has seen in person this year. He is expected to enroll in January of 2013. I plan to catch up with the speedy standout for comments following the trip, so stay tuned.

Virginia Field Hockey Nets 500th Win The No. 7 Virginia field hockey team took down No. 12 Boston University 2-0 on Sunday. The victory marked the 500th win for the program. Since 1973, the Cavaliers have amassed a record of 500-266-21 under eight head coaches. The Hoos picked up two road wins on their trip north. Virginia earned a 3-1 victory in its ACC opener Friday night at No. 22 Boston College. "It was a good trip to Boston to get wins on two quality teams," Virginia coach Michele Madison said. "At this point of the season, is a huge momentum boost". Paige Selenski scored her 15th goal of the season in the win against Boston U.

Issue No. 439 - March 29, 2010 Blog Banter: FB Recruiting Notes - Latest On Moses I caught up with Fork Union Military Academy Postgraduate head coach John Shuman today. Shuman, fresh off of FUMA's Spring Break, says 6-7, 340-pound Morgan Moses continues to work towards qualifying. "He took the latest SAT last Saturday. He is scheduled to take the ACT on April 10," Shuman said. Moses will finish up a course at Fork Union in early April. He will then take one more course. Shuman is hoping for top grades in those two courses, as two top grades would help Moses in his attempt to qualify. "He is doing real good in the classroom, so we feel he is moving forward," Shuman said. Moses will take all standardized tests. "He is anxious to get over to UVa on April 10 after the SAT," Shuman said. "I told him to get this done, get the points, and he'll be over there all year next year."
