Introducing "The Cutting Edge" Last week, TheSabre.com asked its fans to help name a new feature appearing on Sabre TV ... well the votes are in! Fan votes decided that the new segment will be called "The Cutting Edge" as Sabre TV gives you a look at some of the hot topics around UVa athletics. The show, currently hosted once a week by Miranda Mason on Thursdays, will bring you updates, interviews, and more with the Cavaliers. Here are the first two episodes.

Recruiting News | |||||
This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne Virginia men's basketball is expected to host 7'0" center Joel Embiid on an official visit this weekend. The Rock School (Gainesville, FL) product made official visits to Texas and Kansas the previous two weekends. Florida and Marquette round out Embiid's top five, and he is expected to visit both of those schools as well before making a commitment. Embiid, a native of Cameroon, only has played competitive basketball for 18 months. "He is very coordinated, so he is running, jumping, and moving his feet at a high level," Rock School head coach Justin Harden told TheSabre.com in an interview earlier this month. "He is 6'11" or 7'0." We haven't measured him yet. At his height, he has great coordination. He has a knack for shooting. He has a good touch on jumpers, and he has hit some 3s. He can put the ball on the ground. We have a drill where our players dribble the ball just a few times to try and get by a defender, and he has beat our guards. He has good handle ... a great skill set." TheSabre.com will follow up with Embiid for more following his official visit. On the football front, UVa played host to a number of talented visitors this past Saturday. Check out the entire list of those confirmed visitors on the Good Ol Blog (link below), but this week I plan to follow up with senior offensive line target Jaryd Jones-Smith, UVa Good Counsel (Olney, MD) commitments Kirk Garner and Andre Levrone Jr., talented junior offensive lineman Coleman Thomas, and more for updates. Jones-Smith, a product of West Catholic High School in Philadelphia (PA), was on an official visit this past weekend. Garner and Levrone were in town just to see the Maryland game. Thomas, a product of Fort Chiswell (VA), has scored offers from Virginia, Virginia Tech, and West Virginia. I'll also check in with Mountain View (Stafford, VA) senior wide receiver/defensive back DaeSean Hamilton for the latest on his recruitment. Hamilton said recently that he may be taking an official visit to Virginia this weekend, so we'll see where he stands with those plans. As always, also be sure to check out the Good Ol Blog on Mondays for the Week In Review, a look at how UVa's class of 2013 (and one class of 2014 commitment) performed on the high school gridiron the previous week.

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 20 - Jan. 17, 2002 Virginia beats UNC and Wake While the Cavaliers struggled a bit at North Carolina last Saturday, they still pulled off a win in the Dean Dome, and that's something to be thankful for no matter how poorly the Tar Heels are playing this season. ACC road wins are few and far between, and the Cavaliers got a "W" in the won-loss column by defeating Carolina 71-67. The Hoos got back on track and played like a Top 10 team last Tuesday, defeating 14th ranked Wake Forest in University Hall. The Cavaliers fell behind by as many as 11 points early in the contest before Roger Mason and Jermaine Harper started stripping the nets from behind the arc. Travis Watson added another double-double to his collection, by scoring 20 points and pulling down a career-high 17 rebounds. Watson frustrated Wake's Darius Songaila most of the evening, holding him to 11 points (five from the charity stripe) before Songaila eventually fouled out of the contest.
